Section: D.5.1 Service area and connection density
Content: It is relatively hard to provide estimates for the service area dimension. One reason is that it depends on the placement of the base station relative to the RSUs. Also, the RSUs can, in principle, act as relay nodes for each other. The service area dimension stated in table 7.2.3.2-1 indicates the size of the typical data collection area of an RSU (2 km along a road), from which the minimum spacing of RSUs can be inferred. The connection density can be quite high in case data is relayed between RSUs, i.e. along the road (1000 km-2).
