About this book

This book focuses on cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), currently the most promising wireless communication technology for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) and Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C) communications. Because of its low latency and high reliability, C-V2X has become an essential enabling technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) and autonomous driving.

This book begins by introducing readers to the research background and status quo of global development. Then, after analyzing the performance requirements of various V2X applications, the system architecture and technical standards are presented. The two evolving stages of C-V2X, i.e., LTE-V2X and NR-V2X, are introduced in detail. In addition, related technologies such as mobile edge computing, network slicing and high-precision positioning, C-V2X security, C-V2X spectrum requirements and planning, and industrial development and applications are introduced. In closing, the book discusses future applications of and technical challenges for C-V2X.

This book is the first monograph dedicated to C-V2X, offering experts, researchers and engineers from the areas of IT/CT, intelligent transportation, intelligent and connected vehicles (ICVs) an in-depth understanding of C-V2X technology and standards, while also outlining related interdisciplinary research. The book can also be used as a reference resource for both undergraduate and graduate studies.

Chapter 3. V2X Network Architecture and Standards System
Abstract
Firstly, this chapter presents the network architecture of V2X from the perspectives of V2X communications and applications, CVIS and ITS. Then the technical challenges faced by V2X communications are analyzed, and V2X protocol reference model is elaborated. The key technologies and the standardization progress of the two technical V2X standard systems are reviewed: IEEE 802.11p and C-V2X. They are compared from the following three aspects: the key technologies, simulation performance and field tests on the public road. Especially, the results from both simulation and field test on the public road can prove C-V2X outperforming IEEE 802.11p. Finally, the latest progress of IEEE 802.11p and C-V2X spectrum allocation is introduced, and the reasons for selecting C-V2X as the technology and standards route are summarized.

Chapter 6. Key Technologies Related to C-V2X Applications
Abstract
In the intelligent transportation and automated driving applications, it is necessary to integrate C-V2X with the key technologies such as Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), 5G network slicing, High Definition Maps (HDM) and high accuracy positioning to provide perception, decision-making and control capabilities. By integrating C-V2X and mobile edge computing, layered intelligent computing architecture can be formed to meet the low latency and high data rate requirements of computation-intensive and data-intensive tasks in C-V2X applications. The integration of C-V2X and the network slicing can flexibly satisfy the differentiated requirements for network capabilities of various C-V2X services. High Definition Map (HDM) provides perception, localization, motion control and path planning capability for automated driving vehicles. High accuracy positioning is an important prerequisite for various advanced applications (e.g., unmanned driving or remote driving) which have stringent positioning performance requirements. Accordingly, this chapter focuses on critical technologies related to C-V2X, such as mobile edge computing, 5G network slicing, high definition maps, and high accuracy positioning.
