Outline of this Talk Introduction to VANET Technology VANET and 5G The Y-Comm Model The Middlesex VANET Testbed Proposed KCL VANET Testbed CENTRICS Questions
VANET Technology
Applications of VANET Life Critical Applications Accident Prevention Emergency Vehicle Warning System Post Accident Information Weather Updates Traffic Jam Updates Car Health Info Police Chase Other Applications Internet Infotainment etc.
VANET uses Two Protocol Stacks Standards published in 2010 IEEE 1609.4 Multi-channel operation of radios Quality of service (QoS) Contention window management IEEE 802.11p Enhancement of IEEE 802.11a Integrated with IEEE 802.11e
Why is this important for 5G? (from 3GPP)
5G Requirements Latency is required to be 1ms, with the requirement coming from traffic safety e.g. collision avoidance of self-driving cars. Mobility is required to be 500 km/h to be applicable for magnetic levitation trains. Area Traffic Capacity is required to be a 100 times better than IMT-Advanced, driven by infotainment applications in shopping malls and stadiums.
Understanding the Issues How do we know what the exact requirements are for seamless connectivity in mobile environments How do we satisfy those requirements Important as connected/autonomous cars are being tested Google s self-driving car, etc.
