Recently connected car called Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) has been attracted for smart automotive mobility. Among V2X technologies, cellular V2X (C-V2X) discussed and specified in 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) is generally regarded as possibly utilized one. In 3GPP, the fourth generation mobile communication system (4G) and the fifth generation (5G) including new radio (NR) provide C-V2X standards specifications. In this paper, we will introduce C-V2X standards and share our views on future C-V2X.

Millimeter wave provides high data rates for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications. This paper motivates millimeter wave to support automated driving and begins by explaining V2X use cases that support automated driving with references to several standardization bodies. The paper gives a classification of existing V2X standards: IEEE802.11p and LTE V2X, along with the status of their commercial deployment. Then, the paper provides a detailed assessment on how millimeter wave V2X enables the use case of cooperative perception. The explanations provide detailed rate calculations for this use case and show that millimeter wave is the only technology able to achieve the requirements. Furthermore, specific challenges related to millimeter wave for V2X are described, including coverage enhancement and beam alignment. The paper concludes with some results from three studies, i.e. IEEE802.11ad (WiGig) based V2X, extension of 5G NR (New Radio) toward mmWave V2X, and prototypes of intelligent street with mmWave V2X.

Traffic collision is an extremely serious issue in the world today. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported the number of road traffic deaths globally has plateaued at 1.25 million a year. In an attempt to decrease the occurrence of such traffic collisions, various driving systems for detecting pedestrians and vehicles have been proposed, but they are inadequate as they cannot detect vehicles and pedestrians in blind places such as sharp bends and blind intersections. Therefore, mobile networks such as long term evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced, and 5G networks are attracting a great deal of attention as platforms for connected car services. Such platforms enable individual devices such as vehicles, drones, and sensors to exchange real-time information (e.g., location information) with each other. To guarantee effective connected car services, it is important to deliver a data block within a certain maximum tolerable delay (called a deadline in this work). The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) stipulates that this deadline be 100 ms and that the arrival ratio within the deadline be 0.95. We investigated an intersection at which vehicle collisions often occur to evaluate a realistic environment and found that schedulers such as proportional fairness (PF) and payload-size and deadline-aware (PayDA) cannot satisfy the deadline and arrival ratio within the deadline, especially as network loads increase. They fail because they do not consider three key elements — radio quality, chunk size, and the deadline — when radio resources are allocated. In this paper, we propose a deadline-aware scheduling scheme that considers chunk size and the deadline in addition to radio quality and uses them to prioritize users in order to meet the deadline. The results of a simulation on ns-3 showed that the proposed method can achieve approximately four times the number of vehicles satisfying network requirements compared to PayDA.

A 256-bit $mathbb{F}_p$ ECDSA crypto processor featuring low latency, low energy consumption and capability of changing the Elliptic curve parameters is designed and fabricated in SOTB 65nm CMOS process. We have demonstrated the lowest ever reported signature generation time of 31.3 μs at 238MHz clock frequency. Energy consumption is 3.28 μJ/signature-generation, which is same as the lowest reported till date. We have also derived addition formulae on Elliptic curve useful for reduce the number of registers and operation cycles.

Wireless engineers and business planners commonly raise the question on where, when, and how millimeter-wave (mmWave) will be used in 5G and beyond. Since the next generation network is not just a new radio access standard, but also an integration of networks for vertical markets with diverse applications, answers to the question depend on scenarios and use cases to be deployed. This paper gives four 5G mmWave deployment examples and describes in chronological order the scenarios and use cases of their probable deployment, including expected system architectures and hardware prototypes. The first example is a 28 GHz outdoor backhauling for fixed wireless access and moving hotspots, which will be demonstrated at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games in 2018. The second deployment example is a 60 GHz unlicensed indoor access system at the Tokyo-Narita airport, which is combined with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) to enable ultra-high speed content download with low latency. The third example is mmWave mesh network to be used as a micro Radio Access Network (µ-RAN), for cost-effective backhauling of small-cell Base Stations (BSs) in dense urban scenarios. The last example is mmWave based Vehicular-to-Vehicular (V2V) and Vehicular-to-Everything (V2X) communications system, which enables automated driving by exchanging High Definition (HD) dynamic map information between cars and Roadside Units (RSUs). For 5G and beyond, mmWave and MEC will play important roles for a diverse set of applications that require both ultra-high data rate and low latency communications.
