Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Cellular V2X Communication in Dense Vehicular Networks

Cellular Vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication is a major V2X solution proposed and developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Our previous work has studied scalability aspects of C-V2X and demonstrated its potential for accommodating large numbers of vehicles in dense vehicular scenarios. However, existing studies in the scientific literature mostly have a network-level approach to the problem and do not assess the temporal and spatial dynamics of C-V2X networks in heavy network load situations. In this work we shed light on the spatio-temporal characteristics of these networks and investigate the effectiveness of the congestion control algorithm in dense vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) in terms of settling time, stability, and reliability to be employed for the purpose of safety-critical vehicular applications, where latency plays a major role.

Analysis of Distributed Congestion Control in Cellular Vehicle-to-everything Networks

Cellular Vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication has been proposed in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project release 14 standard to address the latency and reliability requirements of cooperative safety applications. Such applications can involve highly congested vehicular scenarios where the network experiences high data loads. Thus, a sophisticated congestion control solution is vital in order to maintain the network performance required for safety-related applications. With the aid of our high-fidelity link-level network simulator, we investigate the feasibility of implementing the distributed congestion control algorithm specified in SAE J2945/1 standard on top of the C-V2X stack. We describe our implementation and evaluate the performance of transmission rate and range control mechanisms using relevant metrics. Additionally, we identify areas for potential design enhancements and further investigation.

Intelligent Wide-band Spectrum Classifier

We introduce a new technique for narrow-band (NB) signal classification in sparsely populated wide-band (WB) spectrum using supervised learning approach. For WB spectrum acquisition, Nyquist rate sampling is required at the receiver's analog-to-digital converter (ADC), hence we use compressed sensing (CS) theory to alleviate such high rate sampling requirement at the receiver ADC. From the estimated WB spectrum, we then extract various spectral features of each of the NB signal. These features are then used to train and classify each NB signal into its respective modulation using the random forest classifier. In the end, we evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm under different empirical setups and verify its superior performance in comparison to a recently proposed signal classification algorithm.

Multiple Access in Cellular V2X: Performance Analysis in Highly Congested Vehicular Networks

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication enables vehicles, roadside vulnerable users, and infrastructure facilities to communicate in an ad-hoc fashion. Cellular V2X (C-V2X), which was introduced in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) release 14 standard, has recently received significant attention due to its perceived ability to address the scalability and reliability requirements of vehicular safety applications. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of the resource allocation of the C-V2X multiple access mechanism for high-density vehicular networks, as it can strongly impact the key performance indicators such as latency and packet delivery rate. Phenomena that can affect the communication performance are investigated and a detailed analysis of the cases that can cause possible performance degradation or system limitations, is provided. The results indicate that a unified system configuration may be necessary for all vehicles, as it is mandated for IEEE 802.11p, in order to obtain the optimum performance. In the end, we show the inter-dependence of different parameters on the resource allocation procedure with the aid of our high fidelity simulator.
