Performance Analysis of V2I Zone Activation and Scalability for C-V2X Transactional Services
share
Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) enables communication between vehicles and other transportation entities over the 5.9GHz spectrum. C-V2X utilizes direct communication mode for safety packet broadcasts (through the usage of periodic basic safety messages) while leaving sufficient room in the resource pool for advanced service applications. While many such ITS applications are under development, it is crucial to identify and optimize the relevant network parameters. In this paper, we envision an infrastructure-assisted transaction procedure entirely carried out by C-V2X, and we optimize it in terms of the service parameters. To achieve the service utility of a transaction class, two C-V2X entities require a successive exchange of multiple messages. With this notion, our proposed application prototype can be generalized for any vehicular service to establish connections on-the-fly. We identify suitable activation zones for vehicles and assess their impact on service efficiency. The results show a variety of potential service and parameter settings that can be appropriate for different use-cases, laying the foundation for subsequent studies.
