Safety-related applications demand stringent requirements in terms of latency and packet delivery probability, especially when safety messages have to be delivered to vehicles by the infrastructure. Interference issues stem from the typical characteristics of wireless communications, i.e., the noise of the wireless medium, the limited communication range of the wireless entities, and the receiver passivity of all the conventional wireless transceivers during transmissions. This paper presents a synchronization mechanism to artificially replicate at a host premises destructive interference due to hidden terminals, together with an application-level technique to minimize that interference by shifting the packet transmission time, similarly to the MAC TDMA channel access method. As both have been field-tested, the paper also analyzes the results of these tests, all performed with real hardware on IEEE 802.11p over different frequencies and transmission powers, and with repeatability in mind. The resulting figures attest that interference effects due to hidden terminals may indeed take place on real IEEE 802.11p networks, and that carefully designed time-shifting mechanisms can actively mitigate them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jsan9020017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,1]],"date-time":"2020-04-01T05:52:30Z","timestamp":1585720350000},"page":"17","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Minimization of IEEE 802.11p Packet Collision Interference through Transmission Time Shifting"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2947-204X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Klapez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, via Pietro Vivarelli, 10, 41125 Modena, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0534-995X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlo Augusto","family":"Grazia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, via Pietro Vivarelli, 10, 41125 Modena, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8417-4416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maurizio","family":"Casoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, via Pietro Vivarelli, 10, 41125 Modena, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1162","DOI":"10.1109\/JPROC.2011.2132790","article-title":"Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) Standards in the United States","volume":"99","author":"Kenney","year":"2011","journal-title":"Proc.
