Security of 5G-V2X: Technologies, Standardization and Research Directions
Cellular-Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) aims at resolving issues pertaining to
the traditional usability of Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to
Vehicle (V2V) networking. Specifically, C-V2X lowers the number of entities
involved in vehicular communications and allows the inclusion of
cellular-security solutions to be applied to V2X. For this, the evolvement of
LTE-V2X is revolutionary, but it fails to handle the demands of high
throughput, ultra-high reliability, and ultra-low latency alongside its
security mechanisms. To counter this, 5G-V2X is considered as an integral
solution, which not only resolves the issues related to LTE-V2X but also
provides a function-based network setup. Several reports have been given for
the security of 5G, but none of them primarily focuses on the security of
5G-V2X. This article provides a detailed overview of 5G-V2X with a
security-based comparison to LTE-V2X. A novel Security Reflex Function
(SRF)-based architecture is proposed and several research challenges are
presented related to the security of 5G-V2X. Furthermore, the article lays out
requirements of Ultra-Dense and Ultra-Secure (UD-US) transmissions necessary
for 5G-V2X.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, Preprin
Reducing Message Collisions in Sensing-based Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) by Using Reselection Lookaheads in Cellular V2X
In the C-V2X sidelink Mode 4 communication, the sensing-based semi-persistent
scheduling (SPS) implements a message collision avoidance algorithm to cope
with the undesirable effects of wireless channel congestion. Still, the current
standard mechanism produces high number of packet collisions, which may hinder
the high-reliability communications required in future C-V2X applications such
as autonomous driving. In this paper, we show that by drastically reducing the
uncertainties in the choice of the resource to use for SPS, we can
significantly reduce the message collisions in the C-V2X sidelink Mode 4.
Specifically, we propose the use of the "lookahead," which contains the next
starting resource location in the time-frequency plane. By exchanging the
lookahead information piggybacked on the periodic safety message, vehicular
user equipments (UEs) can eliminate most message collisions arising from the
ignorance of other UEs' internal decisions. Although the proposed scheme would
require the inclusion of the lookahead in the control part of the packet, the
benefit may outweigh the bandwidth cost, considering the stringent reliability
requirement in future C-V2X applications.Comment: Submitted to MDPI Sensor
Exploiting Map Topology Knowledge for Context-predictive Multi-interface Car-to-cloud Communication
While the automotive industry is currently facing a contest among different
communication technologies and paradigms about predominance in the connected
vehicles sector, the diversity of the various application requirements makes it
unlikely that a single technology will be able to fulfill all given demands.
Instead, the joint usage of multiple communication technologies seems to be a
promising candidate that allows benefiting from characteristical strengths
(e.g., using low latency direct communication for safety-related messaging).
Consequently, dynamic network interface selection has become a field of
scientific interest. In this paper, we present a cross-layer approach for
context-aware transmission of vehicular sensor data that exploits mobility
control knowledge for scheduling the transmission time with respect to the
anticipated channel conditions for the corresponding communication technology.
The proposed multi-interface transmission scheme is evaluated in a
comprehensive simulation study, where it is able to achieve significant
improvements in data rate and reliability
