This book focuses on cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), currently
the most promising wireless communication technology for
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I),
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) and
Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C) communications. Because of its low latency and
high reliability, C-V2X has become an essential enabling technology for
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) and autonomous driving.
This book begins by introducing readers to the research background and
status quo of global development. Then, after analyzing the performance
requirements of various V2X applications, the system architecture and
technical standards are presented. The two evolving stages of C-V2X,
i.e., LTE-V2X and NR-V2X, are introduced in detail. In addition, related
technologies such as mobile edge computing, network slicing and
high-precision positioning, C-V2X security, C-V2X spectrum requirements
and planning, and industrial development and applications are
introduced. In closing, the book discusses future applications of and
technical challenges for C-V2X.
This book is the first monograph dedicated to C-V2X, offering experts,
researchers and engineers from the areas of IT/CT, intelligent
transportation, intelligent and connected vehicles (ICVs) an in-depth
understanding of C-V2X technology and standards, while also outlining
related interdisciplinary research. The book can also be used as a
reference resource for both undergraduate and graduate studies.
