C-ITS Applications, Use Cases and Requirements for V2X Communication Systems-Threading Through IEEE 802.11p to 5G

Abstract

The existence of multiple wireless technologies and standards spurs the development of a wide range of cooperative applications for vehicular networking environments. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems enable several vehicular applications, and each poses a different set of performance requirements. Implementing these applications promises to bring substantial improvements to the way we travel. Therefore, identifying and addressing these requirements is necessary for developing future V2X communication systems. This chapter first describes the main application classes and analyzes their needs in several system performance metrics. Next, we provide a detailed review of the existing and next-generation communication technologies for multiple relevant objectives, including IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11bd, LTE-V2x, C-V2X, 5G NR, and heterogeneous V2X. Finally,we presented a perspective on different V2X communication systems in their capabilities to support envisioned vehicular applications and use cases. Based on the analysis, we determine the suitability of communication technologies to satisfy the requirements.
