5G-Enabled V2X Communications for Connected and Autonomous Driving

5G will be as important to make the vision of connected and autonomous driving become reality as 4G has been important to make phones/tablets smarter and to become as essential as they are today for our daily life. One of the main goals of 5G is to ensure Real-Time, low-latency and highly reliable communications for safety and cooperative driving. V2X (vehicle-to-everything) comprises several scenarios for short-range direct communications such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), v-to-infrastructure (V2I), v-to-pedestrian (V2P) as well as v-to-network (V2N) for longer-range network-based communications. Several technical approaches are in the pipeline: IEEE 802.11p and 3GPP cellular V2X, and 5G V2X is in preparation. This talk will give an overview of the state of the art regarding available V2X radio access technologies and 5G V2X research results.
