Abstract
Energy efficiency has recently drawn significant attention in diverse applications, such as vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. This paper investigates a joint energy efficiency and sum-rate maximization problem in autonomous resource selection in the 5G new radio (NR) vehicular communication while catering for reliability and latency requirements. An autonomous resource allocation problem is formulated as a ratio of sum-rate to energy consumption, where the objective is to maximize the total energy efficiency of power-saving users subject to the reliability and latency requirements. The energy efficiency problem is a mixed-integer programming optimization problem that is computationally complex when the number of users increases. Therefore, a heuristic algorithm, density of traffic-based resource allocation (DeTRA), is proposed to solve the problem. The traffic density per traffic type is considered a metric to split the radio resources and trigger an appropriate resource selection strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing schemes in terms of energy efficiency.
