Reliable vehicle-to-vehicle communication is essential for maintaining stability in cooperative platooning. While
prior work has explored control under communication constraints, few have quantitatively linked communication quality—specifically delay and packet loss—to control performance. This paper addresses that gap through a co-design framework that connects Quality of Service (QoS), defined by the average packet success probability, to Quality of Control (QoC), measured by the Downstream Propagation Factor (DPF). The model
incorporates delay, packet loss, and fallback behavior under a Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) policy.
Simulations reveal a nonlinear coupling between sampling interval, communication reliability, and platoon stability. In particular, larger sampling intervals increase sensitivity to communication loss. We observe a continuous, sharply descending relationship between average success rate and DPF, well approximated by an exponential decay. This enables a simple yet effective model for predicting control performance under varying
network conditions, supporting the design of robust and scalable platoons.
