The present report contains the third volume (Volume III) of 5GAA WG1 agreed use case (UC) descriptions for Use Cases developed within the 5GAA and consolidated in WG1. The results and conclusions of this report, and of the future use case descriptions and related communication requirements, are intended to serve as input for the work of other WGs in 5GAA, as well as sources for input and feedback to standardization activities, e.g., in 3GPP.

The current development of communication technologies opens up new opportunities and enables novel V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) services in the automotive area. However, specific design constraints faced by the automotive industry lead to complex implementations, as the allowed positions and mounting spaces for antennas, communication modules, and the required cabling can be very limited. These challenges commonly require vehicular-Distributed Antenna System (DAS) approaches.

This white paper provides an analysis of the motivation for and needs associated with vehicular-DAS, as well as proposals for some vehicular-DAS design solutions. In addition, it describes the implementation feasibility and potential benefits of vehicular-DAS based on measured computer simulation results, and evaluates potential vehicular-DAS impacts on current specifications.

The article below and the linked document refer to an older version of the 5GAA roadmap, whose most updated version you can find here. 

Since the publication of the initial 5GAA roadmap in 2020, we have seen a growing deployment of connected safety services targeting traffic efficiency and safety. Over the past few years, revolutionary digital transformations have begun addressing some challenging mobility problems.

This new white paper synthesises a 5GAA vision of the future and develops the association’s forward-looking C-V2X roadmap in its latest version. It focuses on advanced driving use cases which pave the way to automated driving, teleoperation, automated valet parking, and sensor sharing – all of which contribute to global safety, mobility, environmental stewardship and transportation equity goals.

In the connected future of transportation, there will be an ever-growing set of cooperative Use Cases that need to be enabled in a standardised fashion. As the implementation of these Day 2+ Use Cases is different from the so far existing Use Cases, new information exchanges other than the currently existing beacon message structures will be required. To determine similarities and common mechanisms for this group of Use Cases, a definition was undertaken to provide a guideline in the field of such new Use Cases.

The term Complex Interaction was selected to describe Use Cases that require an exchange of sequential information with a minimum of three consecutive exchanges. If unique protocols and messages are to be developed for each individual Use Case, the amount of technical complexity would soon become unmanageable. Thus, it is vital to have a scalable framework for these Complex Interactions that covers common technical enablers.

Since so far no general requirements, descriptions and repeated behaviours have been identified for such Complex Interactions, the work introduced here presents an evaluation and representation of requirements which have been determined and developed during the analysis.

The Predictive QoS and V2X Service Adaptation (PRESA) Work Item (WI) and this Technical Report (TR) enhance the framework for the analysis of the potential adaptations of V2X applications and V2X services when a QoS change (e.g. data rate degradation, reliability degradation, latency increase) is predicted and such information is provided to the application. The scope of this TR is to investigate the application and system reactions/adaptations, based on predicted changes of QoS. The methodology for the analysis of V2X use cases that use predictive QoS information is introduced in order to investigate various aspects, such as identifying interactions, QoS parameters of interest for prediction (e.g. downlink minimum data rate) for various use cases, related QoS prediction time horizons, thresholds for triggering prediction notification, etc.

This position paper outlines 5GAA’s core priorities in the field of space-based connectivity and industry requirements for the European Communication Satellite Constellation. We are motivated to highlight the important role that NTNs play in the development of both the automotive and telecommunications industries, and the wider deployment of connected and intelligent vehicles.

With the rapid development of the national economy, building a strong, safe, convenient, efficient, green, modern and comprehensive transportation system has become one of China’s key goals by 2035. To achieve this, the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) network will be a vital factor. Based on advanced ICT technologies, V2X will provide secure, intelligent, comfortable services by connecting vehicles, pedestrians and roads. Meanwhile, the laws and protocols governing intelligent vehicles, autonomous driving and V2X networks will also be developed in order to define each road user’s role and duty.

On October 20th, 2022, the 5G Automotive Association will meet with members in Málaga for a symposium on “5GAA’s achievements and the C-V2X ecosystem”, followed by more than 15 C-V2X live demonstrations taking place at the DEKRA facilities.  

Between October 17 and 20, the 5G Automotive Association will travel to Malaga, Spain, for an internal meeting week. On Thursday, October 20, DEKRA will welcome 5GAA at its testing centre in Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía, where they will host a members’ symposium and several  live demonstrations. 

The symposium will bring members together with EU road traffic authorities, operators and other ecosystem stakeholders. The programme includes a presentation and exchange around the new C-V2X 2030 Roadmap and a sample of essential 5GAA Work Items completed over the past year. For the closing remarks, the association is honoured to welcome H.E. Mr. Roberto Sánchez,  Spain’s Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures. The road operators will then be invited to join a round table hosted by 5GAA Board representatives. 

In the afternoon, attendees can witness the demonstrations organised by 5GAA, showcasing some of the latest developments for 5G and C-V2X technologies. This unique experience will feature 16 live indoor and outdoor demos, proving that 5GAA members do not cease to innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions for connected and automated mobility. The list of confirmed participants includes, amongst others, Autotalks, Huawei, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, Keysight, Molex and Anritsu.

To help attendees plan their visit, 5GAA has designed a brochure containing a map of the facilities and a description of each demo. It is available here for download.
