Abstract

For cellular-based vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication, vital information about status and intention is periodically broadcasted by each vehicle using the cooperative awareness message (CAM) service. In C-V2X, the task of resource allocation can either be carried out in a centralized manner by the network, termed Mode 3, or by the vehicles themselves in a distributed manner without any core network support, termed Mode 4. Mode 4 scheduling is accomplished by employing sensing-based semi-persistent scheduling (SB-SPS), where the vehicles sense the medium and identify the best time-frequency resource combination for transmission of the CAM. Focusing on Mode 4 in this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the impact of variations in the transmit power of the vehicle on the performance of SB-SPS for C-V2X communications in various traffic scenarios through simulations. An adaptive-transmit power control (A-TPC) algorithm is presented to improve the quality of service for various large-scale traffic scenarios, where each vehicle uses real-time channel-sensing information to adjust the transmit power in order to avoid interference with neighbouring vehicles. The results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional TPC schemes.

Highlights

  • To transform the future automotive industry, extensive research is being conducted on cellular-based vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications to support various services such as autonomous driving, road safety, and accident reduction, leading to the prevention of accidents and providing more efficient traffic management [1]

  • The performance evaluation for the three transmit power control (TPC) schemes is presented for the three realistic traffic scenarios, starting with the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) standard Mode 4 at PTX = 23 dBm, followed by ETSI Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) recommendation for Mode 4 at PTX = 10 dBm, and the proposed adaptive-transmit power control (A-TPC) algorithm

Summary

Introduction

To transform the future automotive industry, extensive research is being conducted on cellular-based vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications to support various services such as autonomous driving, road safety, and accident reduction, leading to the prevention of accidents and providing more efficient traffic management [1]. Proximity services for device-to-device (D2D) communication listed in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 12 enable UEs to exchange data over short distances by establishing a direct link between the devices. Using this approach, long term evolution (LTE) traffic at the eNodeB can be efficiently offloaded [3]. For such short-range D2D communications, two modes, namely Modes 1 and 2, have been defined by the 3GPP specifications
