Next-generation wireless networks for V2X

EU-China 5G collaboration trials will be conducted addressing two specific scenarios: (1) enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) on the 3.5GHz band; and (2) Internet of Vehicles (IoV) based on LTE-V2X using the 5.9 GHz band for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and the 3.5 GHz band for Vehicle-to-Network (V2N). This paper discussed scenario 2, and presents the use cases based on next generation communication technologies in the domain of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) for cooperative and automated road transport. In addition, it describes for each use case the developed physical architecture. Finally, it provides an overview of the joint V2X trials to be conducted in the EU and China, in the context of the 5G-DRIVE project.
