Join us at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, taking place from March 3-6 at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, to explore the latest advancements in connected-vehicle technologies.

Many connected-vehicle services are becoming mission-critical. Customers want ubiquitous connectivity. Today it comes via the cellular networks, tomorrow also via satellite communications. Networks also need to be resilient, or available even under exceptional conditions such as disaster scenarios or periods of overwhelmingly high network usage.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) brings together leading players from the telecommunications, automotive, and technology industries to drive innovation in mobility. This year, At MWCB 2025, 5GAA members will showcase the latest connected vehicle technologies including ubiquitous, reliable, and low latency connectivity using cellular, NTN, multi-access edge computing, and C-V2X Direct.

Visit the 5GAA booth in Hall 6, Stand 6E64, and tour our members’ stands to see firsthand how we are shaping the future of mobility.

As automated driving increasingly relies on connectivity, ensuring trusted information exchange is critical for functional safety. This 5GAA whitepaper on Safety Treatment in Connected and Automated Driving (STiCAD II) builds on the initial STiCAD I guidelines, addressing open challenges in applying safety treatment to V2X-enabled automated driving functions. It explores use cases requiring safety treatment, introduces the concept of mutual trust in V2X communications, and examines potential standardisation contributions from 5GAA.

The 5GAA Technical Report on Safety Treatment in Connected and Automated Driving (STiCAD II) documents the latest findings on enhancing safety in V2X-enabled automated driving. Building on the first STiCAD work item, this report explores additional use cases requiring safety treatment, such as sensor sharing and automated valet parking, and introduces a simplified functional safety analysis approach. A key focus is the mutual trust concept, covering technical, organisational, and certification aspects essential for reliable V2X communication. The report also examines potential standardisation contributions and network reliability enhancements.

A related white paper provides a high-level overview.

The 5GAA Technical Report on Automated Valet Parking (AVP) Type-2 outlines the technological framework and implementation details for driverless parking systems. It explores the role of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, cellular public networks, Stand-alone Non-Public Networks (SNPN), and PC5 Direct Communication in enabling seamless and secure AVP operations. Key aspects include system architecture, interoperability, security, and deployment considerations. The report emphasises standardisation to ensure cross-vendor compatibility and provides recommendations for optimising network performance. Serving as a reference for automotive and telecommunications stakeholders, it offers actionable insights into scaling AVP solutions while addressing critical safety and operational challenges.

To support the transportation community in navigating the FCC’s Second Report and Order on the 5.9 GHz band, 5GAA has published a comprehensive FAQ document. This resource provides detailed guidance on the transition to Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology and the final operational rules by outlining key regulatory changes, technical specifications, and compliance timelines—addressing topics such as equipment authorization, licensing requirements for Onboard Units (OBUs) and Roadside Units (RSUs) and channelization standards. The document also includes step-by-step appendices for obtaining equipment authorization and RSU licensing.

On Thursday, 6 February, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host its highly anticipated conference “US V2X Vision: Bridging Gaps and Accelerating Deployment in the US,” bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the future of connected transportation in the United States.

Event Details

Date: February 6, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST)
Location: National Press Club, Washington DC

The event will also provide a platform for in-depth discussions on the progress, challenges, and opportunities in achieving a fully connected and automated mobility ecosystem in the US.

Key Themes

As the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) advances its National V2X Deployment Plan, and with recent adoption by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)  of the Second Report and Order on the 5.9 GHz band, this conference will focus on:

• Current achievements and deployments in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology;
• The impact of regulatory milestones on deployment progress;
• Priorities for the next administration to accelerate nationwide adoption.

With high-level speakers and key stakeholders attending, the conference promises actionable insights and collaborative discussions to drive innovation and deployment forward.

Panels

The conference will be centred around two dedicated panels:

• “How US States are Deploying C-V2X”: This session will include representatives from the US Department of Transportation and State Departments of Transportation, highlighting the deployment efforts and lessons learned across the country.
• “How Chattanooga Sees C-V2X as a Bridge to its Future”: Featuring representatives from 5GAA and the Mayor of Chattanooga, this panel will explore the city’s forward-thinking approach to using C-V2X as a key enabler for its mobility goals.

Check out the agenda and stay tuned for event highlights and key takeaways, which will be shared on the 5GAA website and social media following the conference!

This updated document series from the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) provides a comprehensive framework for defining and analysing C-V2X use cases and their associated Service Level Requirements (SLRs). It builds upon previous work, refining methodologies for describing use case scenarios, considering factors like road environments and involved actors.

Published in three volumes, each of them includes a curated set of C-V2X use cases, respectively detailed with specific SLRs. These use cases serve as a valuable resource for 5GAA work groups, guiding the development of C-V2X solutions, informing standardisation efforts, and supporting the creation of robust business cases for deployment.

Volume II

Volume III

Intersections are a hotspot for traffic fatalities and injuries globally, with nearly a quarter of U.S. traffic fatalities and half of all injuries occurring in these high-risk areas. To address this, the 5GAA has developed a technical report on the ‘InterSafe Service,’ an approach leveraging infrastructure sensor-sharing to increase intersection safety for all road users, especially Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) like pedestrians and cyclists.

This report explores key use cases, system requirements, and deployment options for integrating Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies with infrastructure sensors. It outlines a framework for developing interoperable, standardised solutions that can operate efficiently within existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) spectrums. Crucially, the service is designed to deliver safety benefits even during the early stages of V2X adoption, when only a fraction of vehicles are equipped with these technologies.

The document also provides recommendations for global standards organisations, such as SAE International and ETSI, to expedite the development of system-level profiles. By fostering collaboration across stakeholders, the InterSafe Service has the potential to significantly reduce intersection-related incidents and accelerate the adoption of life-saving technologies worldwide.

The 5G Automotive Association is pleased to announce our upcoming Conference, “US V2X Vision: Bridging Gaps and Accelerating Deployment in the US”, taking place in Washington DC.

The event is scheduled for 9 AM – 12 PM (EST) on 6 February 2025, at the National Press Club. This conference will provide a great platform for discussion with high-level speakers and industry stakeholders.

With the US V2X National Plan and the FCC’s adoption of the Second Report and Order on the use of 5.9 GHz band in November 2024, the US is making significant progress towards realising the National V2X Deployment Plan vision. 5GAA is looking forward to supporting this process and discussing the successes of V2X deployments and the road ahead. 

The conference will outline existing achievements and ongoing deployments, as well as priorities for the next administration in the field of connected transportation.
