Supporting Vehicle-to-Everything Services by 5G New Radio Release-16 Systems

Building Realistic Experimentation Environments for AI-enhanced Management and Orchestration (MANO) of 5G and beyond V2X systems

“…• infotainment services, such as vCDN, where cloud orchestrator optimizes distributed vCDN deployment across edge domains, based on the locations of vehicle (e.g., retrieved from the location service) and computational resource utilization in each of the edges (e.g., collected from message brokers in edges) [8,9]; • emergency services, such as lane clearance for emergency vehicles, where edge orchestrators optimize service oper- ation on the edge level, while cloud orchestrator makes sure that service is deployed in all edge domains that are on the route affected by emergency situation [8,10]; • maneuver recommendation services, which are services that provide vehicles with recommendations about in which lane to drive, when to merge or exit the lane, etc., taking into account location/speed/destination of vehicles (e.g., retrieved from cloud orchestrator) [8,11].…”

Cellular Connectivity and Wearable Technology Enablers for Industrial Mid-End Applications

“…In these particular setups, the aim of using D2D communications for wearables is limited to providing proximity-based energy-efficient communications. However, with the definition of two transmission modes for NR sidelink in 3GPP Rel-16 [10], deploying D2D communications in 5G-enabled wearable networks for industrial mid-end applications has the potential of three types of gains (i.e., proximity, hop, and reuse) and multiple performance improvements (for example, availability, latency, reliability, and spectral efficiency).…”

Cellular-enabled Wearables in Public Safety Networks: State of the Art and Performance Evaluation

“…In connection with D2D communications and ProSe support, the main parameter is the sidelink transmission mode that defines the entity responsible for sidelink resource configuration. Two main modes have been defined for NR sidelink in 3GPP Rel-16; (i) network-controlled mode, also called transmission mode-1, in which the sidelink configuration is monitored and provided to the UEs by the BS, and (ii) autonomous mode, known as transmission mode-2, where UEs rely on sidelink pre-configurations stored in the devices [23]. While in-coverage UEs can operate in mode-1 or mode-2 as decided by the network, out-of-coverage UEs are restricted to using mode-2.…”
