Effect of Variable Physical Numerologies on Link-Level Performance of 5G NR V2X

Abstract

With technology and societal development, the 5th generation wireless communication (5G) contributes significantly to different societies like industries or academies. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technology has been one of the leading services for 5G which has been applied in vehicles. It is used to exchange their status information with other traffic and traffic participants to increase traffic safety and efficiency. Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) is one of the emerging technologies to enable V2X communications. The first Long-Term Evolution (LTE) based C-V2X was released on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. 3GPP is working towards the development of New Radio (NR) systems that it is called 5G NR V2X. One single numerology in LTE cannot satisfy most performance requirements because of the variety of deployment options and scenarios. For this reason, in order to meet the diverse requirements, the 5G NR Physical Layer (PHY) is designed to provide a highly flexible framework. Scalable Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) numerologies make flexibility possible. The term numerology refers to the PHY waveform parametrization and allows different Subcarrier Spacings (SCSs), symbols, and slot duration. This paper implements the Link-Level (LL) simulations of LTE C-V2X communication and 5G NR V2X communication where simulation results are used to compare similarities and differences between LTE and 5G NR. We detect the effect of variable PHY Numerologies of 5G NR on the LL performance of V2X. The simulation results show that the performance of 5G NR improved by using variable numerologies.

Message-Level Scheduling for RLNC-Coded Multi-Source Traffic

This paper studies weighted decoding-delay minimization for multiple RLNC-coded message streams that compete for finite processing capacity at a destination. Packet arrivals are exogenous, while the scheduler only determines the processing order of packets already available at the destination. A trace-conditioned offline scheduling formulation shows that a batch-release subclass is strongly NP-hard even with a single processing unit. Message-Aware Innovation-Deficit Scheduling (MAIDS) is then developed to prioritize each serviceable message according to its weight and remaining decoding deficit. For a single processing unit, MAIDS is shown to be exactly optimal under nonblocking progressive arrivals with equal weights and under common activation with arbitrary positive weights, while the unrestricted weighted online problem admits no universal deterministic $O(1)$ competitive ratio. Simulation results on streaming and batch benchmarks show that MAIDS consistently reduces weighted decoding delay relative to the tested baselines, remains close to the offline optimum on average, and recovers the predicted exact performance boundaries.

The Towers Were Standing: A Cause Decomposition of Cellular Outages During Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene produced the largest absolute cell-site outage in the public FCC record, peaking at 4562 sites. The conventional model is physical: towers destroyed. Helene did destroy over 1700 miles of fibre, but almost none of it was cell sites. We present the first cause-decomposed study of the FCC's Disaster Information Reporting System, reconstructing 80 state-days and 580 county-days from 24 daily filings by two reconciled independent extractions. Damage to cell sites is negligible: 1.1% of attributed cell-site-days across six states, at most 3.8% anywhere. The sites were standing. What took them out divides by terrain: pooled, power dominates at 63.2%, but in mountainous North Carolina severed transport (backhaul) reaches 52.2% against 47.3%, and in Tennessee 69.9%. North Carolina's transport share rises from 7.0% to 85.0% across the event (\r{ho} = 0.92). Seventeen days after landfall, on 15 October, 47 sites lost transport across six contiguous North Carolina counties with no rainfall, no power loss, no damage, and recovery by the next report. Independent active-probe measurement corroborates it: responsive /24s fall 1.02% for twelve hours while Tennessee stays flat. We release the dataset. Backup power is the standard resilience investment; here it addresses the smaller half of the problem.

terms.txt: A Consent and Compensation Protocol for Agentic Web Access

The open web ran on an unwritten bargain: sites admitted crawlers, and search engines sent visitors back. Public measurements show that bargain breaking under AI crawlers and agents. Automated clients now make up most requests, training dominates Cloudflare-classified crawling, and the largest AI platforms fetch thousands of pages for each visitor they return. The web's common control, robots.txt, cannot express identity, purpose, terms, or price, can be circumvented, and newer alternatives are largely proprietary CDN features. We specify terms.txt, a robots.txt-style file for per-path, per-purpose machine-access terms, plus an origin-enforced exchange using Web Bot Auth signatures, signed intent, delegation tokens, HTTP 402 negotiation, and signed receipts. We define what the exchange can enforce, audit, and leave to contract. A dependency-free implementation adds 0.20 to 0.65 ms per request on one vCPU.
