Updated study of spectrum needs for safety related intelligent transportation systems – day 1 and advanced use cases

This report is an update to the 2020 report that presents a study by the 5GAA on the spectrum needs of so-called day-1 and advanced use cases for intelligent transport systems (ITS) as implemented by LTE-V2X and NR-V2X cellular V2X (C-V2X) technologies, respectively.

The study estimates the amounts of bandwidth required for the introduction of use cases for direct communications (via the cellular V2X PC5 interface in the 5.9 GHz band harmonised globally for ITS) and for network-based communications (via the cellular-V2X Uu interface in spectrum designated for use by mobile communication networks).

This update to the report presents spectrum needs estimates for a number of advanced use cases including “Cooperative Perception”, “Vulnerable Road User”, “Group Start” and “Cooperative Lane Merging”, among others.
