Standardization for Telecommunications Why? How?
Standards := ‘Laws’ for telecom network/equipment Codified public agreements
Wide-area communications possible Values:
Coordinated work avoid multiple standards for same function Maintenance as long as there is minimal level of use Ensure technical/group ‘democracy’ Identify Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Consider impact on society/environment

V2X Communications and Standards A (very) brief history
V2X A sense to make roads more safe, convenient, fun Enable new applications: • Safety • Efficiency + Eco • Infotainment Vehicle ‘talking’ • other Vehicles (V2V) • Pedestrians (V2P) • transport Infrastructure (V2I) • Network (V2N)
WiFi-based 802.11p (IEEE) • DSRC/WAVE, 5.9GHz band Cellular-based (3GPP) • LTE
• Rel.12/13; D2D communications • Rel.14; defined C-V2X communications (Phase 1)
• Studies within Rel.13 (2014) to test standards applicability to V2X
• Rel.15; enhanced V2X (Phase 2) • NR
• Rel.16; Strengthen safety applications (Phase 3) • <1ms Latency etc. (2019+)
Technologies:
US: DSRC compulsory at 2016, Reverted in 2017 EU: Connected-ITS initiative, undecided by end of 2018 China: LTE-V2X trial/develop agreements, 90% cov. by 2020

Rel.14 WIs: - Support for V2V services based on LTE sidelink (Sep’16) - LTE support for V2X services (Mar’17) Service requirements, Architecture enhance, Security aspects RAN aspects/solutions: - PC5 modifications (from D2D) (support: high speed, high node density) - SL Tx modes 3 and 4 - UL/SL SPS enhancements (adapt to V2X msg generation pattern) - Shorter Tx periods in DL/SL (broadcast within latency requirements) - add. resource selection procedure in SL TM 4 (P-UE power saving) - SL congestion control (operation in high traffic load) - SL synchro enhance (operation outside GNSS or eNB coverage) - simult. V2X operations over multi CC (extend V2X operation scenarios)

Support advanced V2X services Backward compatible to Rel.14 V2X for the delivery of safety messages Use cases [TR 22.886]
• solutions for PC5 functionalities [RAN1/2/4]
• Carrier aggregation (up to 8 PC5 carriers);
• 64QAM;
• Reduce the maximum time between packet arrival at
Layer 1 and resource selected for transmission;
• Radio resource pool sharing between UEs using mode 3
and UEs using mode 4;
• Study PC5 operation with Transmit Diversity [RAN1/2/4]
• Study PC5 operation with Short TTI [RAN1/2]
• Specify necessary RF requirements [RAN4]
• Specify necessary RRM core requirements [RAN4]
4 use-case groups • Vehicles Platooning • Extended Sensors • Advanced Driving • Remote Driving
New Radio In the meantime… A new era, including URLLC
A new 3GPP radio access technology
A step beyond LTE-A Pro • Low to very high bands operation: 0.4 – 100 GHz • Scalable OFDM numerology with scaling of subcarrier spacing • Ultra wide bandwidth: up to 100/400MHz • New channel coding: LDPC/Polar • etc.
(Actually, it’s happening … now!)
URLLC features are contained in 5G Phase 1 To be fully covered in 5G Phase 2
URLLC progress in Rel.15 Main aspects
Rel.15 NR design in general was made with also URLLC in mind
Possible number of TTIs according to SCS and the number of symbols in a TTI
UP latency evaluation example [R1-1803933]
• Numerology • Mini-slot support • Various SCS support various TTIs within 1ms
• Multiplexing with eMBB in DL • Scheduling-based • Puncture ongoing eMBB transmission
(preemption-based) • Reduce impact to eMBB
• CBG-based transmission • Preemption indication
• UL grant-free transmission
• FDM/TDM semi-static resource sharing with eMBB • Retransmission/repetition, etc…
[R1-1720998]
URLLC progress in Rel.15 Last minute URLLC WI
NR WID objectives (August’17, R1-1713892)
Support of ultra-reliable part of URLLC [RAN1, RAN2, RAN4]
• RAN1#90 in Aug. 2017 – RAN1 #91 in Nov. 2017
• Identify techniques to meet the URLLC requirements set forth by [TR38.913] starting after RAN#76
• RAN1 NR Ad-Hoc in Jan. 2018 – RAN1 #93 in May 2018
• Conduct corresponding URLLC specific normative work after RAN#78 for the selected techniques
URLLC Rel.15 WI focused (from Feb’18) on general reliability essential topics (finished, clearing stage).

Study Item for evaluation methodology of 5G V2X use cases “Study on evaluation methodology of new V2X use cases for LTE and NR” [RP-171093]
Ongoing SI - Agreed in plenary meeting #76 (Jun’17)
Motivation: • “Establish the evaluation methodology to be used in evaluating technical solutions to support
the full set of 5G V2X use cases” • further improve the evaluation methodology of LTE V2X and finalize it for NR V2X.
Objectives: • Complete the evaluation methodology in TR38.913 and TR38.802 to compare the performance of different
technical options for the new 5G V2X use cases including the following aspects [RAN1]: • Evaluation scenarios including performance metric, vehicle dropping, traffic model • Sidelink channel model for spectrum above 6 GHz
• Identify the regulatory requirements and design considerations of potential operation of direct communications between vehicles in spectrum allocated to ITS beyond 6GHz in different regions, considering at least 63-64GHz (allocated for ITS in Europe) and 76-81GHz depending on regulatory decision [RAN].
NR V2X Study Item Rel. 16
Initial efforts/proposals at end of 2017 [RP-172738] [RP-172765]
At RAN#78 (Dec’17), it was decided for specific Rel.16 proposals to be consolidated between companies (email discussions - in 3GPP RAN DRAFTS reflector) • Summaries of discussions in RAN#79 (Mar’18) [RP-180426]. • Some commonalities on technical topics, convergence might be possible on early level. • Possible: NR-V2X complements LTE-V2X BASIC safety-related broadcast messages from LTE V2X. • Most companies (+ 5GAA) asking for ~12 months of study (align with Rel.16 timescale for a spin-off WI)
Technical scope initial conclusion overview:
Consolidated proposal prepared for RAN#80 (Jun’18). TSG-RAN may approve to start now or a bit later.

According to email discussion and consolidated proposals for Rel.16 (from March to June ’18) Rel.16 URLLC • Taking into account new Rel.16 use cases for Transport Industry with higher requirement
• E.g. higher reliability/availability, ~0.5 L1 latency Positioning • Scope trying to avoid overlapping with V2X • Only radio link based positioning. Taking high speed UEs into account (but no SL or SL+Uu) • End-to-end latency to be studied (important for V2X) Unlicensed • V2X/Sidelink use case adopting standalone operation mode in unlicensed spectrum
• V2X is a vital ‘sense’ for future vehicles
• URLLC addresses the most advanced V2X use cases
• 3GPP keeps evolving standardization of V2X services
