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
Pay as You Go: A Generic Crypto Tolling Architecture
The imminent pervasive adoption of vehicular communication, based on
dedicated short-range technology (ETSI ITS G5 or IEEE WAVE), 5G, or both, will
foster a richer service ecosystem for vehicular applications. The appearance of
new cryptography based solutions envisaging digital identity and currency
exchange are set to stem new approaches for existing and future challenges.
This paper presents a novel tolling architecture that harnesses the
availability of 5G C-V2X connectivity for open road tolling using smartphones,
IOTA as the digital currency and Hyperledger Indy for identity validation. An
experimental feasibility analysis is used to validate the proposed architecture
for secure, private and convenient electronic toll payment
Synergizing Roadway Infrastructure Investment with Digital Infrastructure for Infrastructure-Based Connected Vehicle Applications: Review of Current Status and Future Directions
The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.The safety, mobility, environmental and economic benefits of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are potentially dramatic. However, realization of these benefits largely hinges on the timely upgrading of the existing transportation system. CAVs must be enabled to send and receive data to and from other vehicles and drivers (V2V communication) and to and from infrastructure (V2I communication). Further, infrastructure and the transportation agencies that manage it must be able to collect, process, distribute and archive these data quickly, reliably, and securely. This paper focuses on current digital roadway infrastructure initiatives and highlights the importance of including digital infrastructure investment alongside more traditional infrastructure investment to keep up with the auto industry's push towards this real time communication and data processing capability. Agencies responsible for transportation infrastructure construction and management must collaborate, establishing national and international platforms to guide the planning, deployment and management of digital infrastructure in their jurisdictions. This will help create standardized interoperable national and international systems so that CAV technology is not deployed in a haphazard and uncoordinated manner
