Current and future developments to improve 5G-NewRadio performance in vehicle-to-everything communications

Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communication is a technology that provides connectivity between vehicles, pedestrians, and road infrastructure. Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) is proposed by different standards such as ETSI, IEEE, and others since ten years ago to provide wireless connectivity in V2X. Recently, the LTE-V2X based cellular communication is standardized by the 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Release 14 as an alternative V2X technology to support autonomous driving. 5G-NewRadio (5G-NR) is being proposed by the 3GPP Release 16 as a new radio access technology to offer enhanced radio coverage and wide ultra-high reliability services. 3GPP Release15 was published in 2018 to include Phase 1 5G-NR standard. 3GPP Release 16 is designed to provide the 5G phase 2 and scheduled for being delivered in June 2020. In this paper, we study V2X based DSRC and LTE-V2X standards and introduce the current 5G-V2X standards progress. We present the 5G-V2X architecture design, core elements, challenges, essential requirements, security enhancement, and radio techniques. Also, we consider the security aspects of architecture and issues of 5G-V2X.

Non-Uniform Microstrip Antenna Array for DSRC in Single-Lane Structures.

Vehicular communications have been subject to a great development in recent years, with multiple applications, such as electronic payments, improving the convenience and comfort of drivers. Its communication network is supported by dedicated short range communications (DSRC), a system composed of onboard units (OBU) and roadside units (RSU). A recently conceived different set-up for the tolling infrastructures consists of placing them in highway access roads, allowing a number of benefits over common gateway infrastructures, divided into several lanes and using complex systems. This paper presents an antenna array whose characteristics are according to the DSRC standards. Additionally, the array holds an innovative radiation pattern adjusted to the new approach requirements, with an almost uniform wide beamwidth along the road width, negligible side lobes, and operating in a significant bandwidth.

Interworking of DSRC and Cellular Network Technologies for V2X Communications: A Survey

Vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communications refer to information exchange between a vehicle and various elements of the intelligent transportation system (ITS), including other vehicles, pedestrians, Internet gateways, and transport infrastructure (such as traffic lights and signs). The technology has a great potential of enabling a variety of novel applications for road safety, passenger infotainment, car manufacturer services, and vehicle traffic optimization. Today, V2X communications is based on one of two main technologies: dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) and cellular networks. However, in the near future, it is not expected that a single technology can support such a variety of expected V2X applications for a large number of vehicles. Hence, interworking between DSRC and cellular network technologies for efficient V2X communications is proposed. This paper surveys potential DSRC and cellular interworking solutions for efficient V2X communications. First, we highlight the limitations of each technology in supporting V2X applications. Then, we review potential DSRC-cellular hybrid architectures, together with the main interworking challenges resulting from vehicle mobility, such as vertical handover and network selection issues. In addition, we provide an overview of the global DSRC standards, the existing V2X research and development platforms, and the V2X products already adopted and deployed in vehicles by car manufactures, as an attempt to align academic research with automotive industrial activities. Finally, we suggest some open research issues for future V2X communications based on the interworking of DSRC and cellular network technologies.

VLSI DESIGN OF EFFICIENT ENCODING TECHNIQUE USING ROLS METHOD FOR WAVE APPLICATIONS

The automotive industry is emerging aggressively towards the direction of advanced active safety. The automotive industry is aiming to work for the development of Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology, for the purpose in vehicle-tovehicle and vehicle-to-roadside communication. To transmit the vehicular information and broadcast vehicle position, DSRC communication technology is adopt as bridge. This work is devoted to develop the encoding techniques for WAVE/DSRC applications. The DSRC standards generally make use of FM0 and Manchester encoding to achieve dc balance and enhancing signal reliability. Nevertheless, the diversity of coding between FM0 and Manchester codes limits the ability to design a fully utilize hardware architecture for both. The Reuse oriented logic simplification (ROLS) technique is proposed here so that the Hardware utilization rate (HUR) will reach to 100% from 57% for both encoding techniques. The proposed architecture will have less delay, area as compared to existing architecture. In this paper the architecture analyzed to reduce the number of components. Using both encodings the area, delay, and power is reduced in DSRC. The power consumption is 22132.181nW for both encoding, and area is 193µm 2 . The encoding technique in this work supports the DSRC standards used by several organizations of America,

VLSI Architecture Design of FM0/Manchester Codec With 100% Hardware Utilization Rate for DSRC-Based Sensor Nodes in ITS Applications

Dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) plays an important role in sensor networking for intelligent transportation system applications. How to achieve a higher hardware efficiency becomes an attractive issue to design each critical building bock in sensor node. DSRC standards usually adopt either FM0 code or Manchester code as a coding technique to enhance signal reliability. In this paper, a fully reused VLSI architecture of FM0/Manchester codec with a hardware utilization rate (HUR) of 100% is proposed for DSRC-based sensor node. It is based on the half-cycle processing model (HCPM). The HCPM includes three core techniques: 1) half-cycle logic partition; 2) reused-based retiming; and 3) Boolean function reshaping. The HCPM can improve the HUR of FM0/Manchester codec from 27.33% to 100% with the reduction of the transistor count from 86 to 66. A 100% HUR means every transistor is activated; therefore, a more power is consumed. With a design tradeoff between HUR and power consumption, this paper still presents a higher energy efficiency. This paper is realized in TSMC 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ 1P6M CMOS technology. The silicon area of core circuit is $33\,\,\times \,\,120~\mu \text{m}^{2}$ . The experiment results demonstrate that this paper presents a competitive performance with 100% HUR compared with the existing works. With this paper, DSRC-based sensor nodes can present a 100% HUR FM0/Manchester codec, fully supporting DSRC standards of Europe, USA, and Japan.

Fully Reused VLSI Architecture of FM0/Manchester Encoding Using SOLS Technique for DSRC Applications

The dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) is an emerging technique to push the intelligent transportation system into our daily life. The DSRC standards generally adopt FM0 and Manchester codes to reach dc-balance, enhancing the signal reliability. Nevertheless, the coding-diversity between the FM0 and Manchester codes seriously limits the potential to design a fully reused VLSI architecture for both. In this paper, the similarity-oriented logic simplification (SOLS) technique is proposed to overcome this limitation. The SOLS technique improves the hardware utilization rate from 57.14% to 100% for both FM0 and Manchester encodings. The performance of this paper is evaluated on the postlayout simulation in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 0.18- $\mu{\rm m}$ 1P6M CMOS technology. The maximum operation frequency is 2 GHz and 900 MHz for Manchester and FM0 encodings, respectively. The power consumption is 1.58 mW at 2 GHz for Manchester encoding and 1.14 mW at 900 MHz for FM0 encoding. The core circuit area is $65.98\times 30.43~\mu{\rm m}^{2}$ . The encoding capability of this paper can fully support the DSRC standards of America, Europe, and Japan. This paper not only develops a fully reused VLSI architecture, but also exhibits an efficient performance compared with the existing works.

VLSI Design of FM0/Manchester Encoder with Reuse-Oriented Boolean Simplification Technique for DSRC Applications

The Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) is an emerging standard to push the vehicular communication into modern automotive industry. The DSRC standard generally applies FM0 and Manchester to reach DC-balance enhancing the signal reliability. However, the intrinsic unbalance computation load between FM0 and Manchester makes their VLSI architecture with poor hardware utilization. In this paper, the reuse-oriented Boolean simplification (ROBS) technique is proposed to overcome this problem. The ROBS technique constructs the balance-type architecture to improve the hardware utilization rate (HUR) from 50 % to 90 %. The analysis of how the clock-skew affects the balance-type architecture is also discussed. This work is realized by 0.18um 1P6M CMOS technology with cell-based design flow. The gate count is 25.61, which is normalized to a 2-input NAND gate. The power consumption is [email protected] for FM0 encoding and [email protected] for Manchester encoding. The encoding capability is up to 27 Mbps that can fully support the DSRC standards of America, Europe and Japan.

Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) Standards in the United States

Wireless vehicular communication has the potential to enable a host of new applications, the most important of which are a class of safety applications that can prevent collisions and save thousands of lives. The automotive industry is working to develop the dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) technology, for use in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside communication. The effectiveness of this technology is highly dependent on cooperative standards for interoperability. This paper explains the content and status of the DSRC standards being developed for deployment in the United States. Included in the discussion are the IEEE 802.11p amendment for wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE), the IEEE 1609.2, 1609.3, and 1609.4 standards for Security, Network Services and Multi-Channel Operation, the SAE J2735 Message Set Dictionary, and the emerging SAE J2945.1 Communication Minimum Performance Requirements standard. The paper shows how these standards fit together to provide a comprehensive solution for DSRC. Most of the key standards are either recently published or expected to be completed in the coming year. A reader will gain a thorough understanding of DSRC technology for vehicular communication, including insights into why specific technical solutions are being adopted, and key challenges remaining for successful DSRC deployment. The U.S. Department of Transportation is planning to decide in 2013 whether to require DSRC equipment in new vehicles.

A 5.8 GHz Integrated CMOS Dedicated Short Range Communication Transceiver for the Korea/Japan Electronic Toll Collection System

In this paper, a RF front-end of the 5.8 GHz integrated CMOS dedicated short range communication (DSRC) transceiver for the Korea/Japan electronic toll collection system is presented. The receiver uses low-IF conversion architecture for high sensitivity and low-power consumption while the transmitter uses direct up-conversion architecture for its simple structure and reliability. To solve image problem in the low-IF receiver, 10 MHz IF and 40 MHz IF are chosen for Korean and Japanese DSRC standards, respectively, since they make no image signals exist in image band. A single-quadrature mixer with the proposed transconductor-type quadrature generator in RF signal path is also adopted which has accurate quadrature characteristic in 5.8 GHz frequency. When the RF front-end of the integrated 5.8 GHz DSRC transceiver is implemented using 0.13 μm CMOS technology, the receiver achieves the overall noise figure of less than 5 dB with image rejection ratio of more than 30 dB, and the transmitter carries an output peak power of 10 dBm with the adjacent channel power ratio of -43 dBc. The RF front-end of the 5.8 GHz DSRC transceiver dissipates 45 mA with 1.2 V supply voltage and 142 mA with 1.2/3.3 V dual supply voltage during RXand TX-modes, respectively.
