Further enhancements that focusing on additional V2X operation scenarios leveraging the cellular infrastructure, also for inclusion in Release 14, is targeting completion in March 2017 as 3GPP V2X phase 1.Currently, SA1 is working on enhancement of 3GPP support for V2X services in FS_eV2X. SA1 has identified 25 use cases for advanced V2X services and they are categorized into four use case groups: vehicles platooning, extended sensors, advanced driving and remote driving. The detailed description of each use case group is provided as below. 1) Vehicles Platoonning enables the vehicles to dynamically form a platoon travelling together. All the vehicles in the platoon obtain information from the leading vehicle to manage this platoon. These information allow the vehicles to drive closer than normal in a coordinated manner, going to the same direction and travelling together. 2) Extended Sensors enables the exchange of raw or processed data gathered through local sensors or live video images among vehicles, road site units, devices of pedestrian and V2X application servers. The vehicles can increase the perception of their environemnt beyond of what their own sensors can detect and have a more broad and holistic view of the local situation. High data rate is one of the key characteristics.3) Advanced Driving enables semi-automated or full-automated driving. Each vehicle and/or RSU shares its own perception data obtained from its local sensors with vehicles in proximity and that allows vehicles to synchronize and coordinate their trajectories or manoeuvres. Each vehicle shares its driving intention with vehicles in proximity too. 4) Remote Driving enables a remote driver or a V2X application to operate a remote vehicle for those passengers who cannot drive by themselves or remote vehicles located in dangerous environments. For a case where variation is limited and routes are predictable, such as public transportation, driving based on cloud computing can be used. High reliability and low latency are the main requirements.The consolidated requirements for each use case group are captured in TR 22.886. Based on the input from FS_eV2X, SA1 will generate a set of normative requirements for Release 15. Inline with these requirements, TSG RAN has been defining a set of corresponding 5G RAN requirements within 3GPP TR38.913. In order to study technical solutions for the new V2X use cases, new evaluation methodology needs to be defined.5 Regulation for ITS operation in frequency band above 6 GHz 5.1 International recommendationITU-R recommends technical and operational characteristics for millimeter wave radiocommunication systems for ITS applications for V2V and V2I in the frequency band 57.0-66.0 GHz [Annex 2 in 6]. Channel arrangements will be specified by regions or countries separately. ITU-R identifies the transmission parameter requirements for ITS with three types of system bandwidth as follows:Table 5.1-1 Transmission parameter requirements in [6].System ASystem BSystem CSystem bandwidth63-64 GHz59-66 GHz57-64 GHzE.I.R.P40 dBmTransmit power10mW10mWAntenna Gain23 dBi or less47 dBi or less 17 dBi or less5.2 European regulationCEPT states that 63-64 GHz frequency bands are allowed for ITS on harmonized use basis and the maximum radiated power should be limited to 40 dBm E.I.R.P [7]. ETSI also indicates that this frequency band can be used for ITS providing traffic safety and traffic efficiency applications (including V2V and V2I) all over Europe, and the following transmission parameters were considered in the analysis in [8, 9]:- E.I.R.Pn 40 dBm (E.I.R.P. max mean power), 43 dBm (E.I.R.P. max peak power)- Transmit powern 27 dBm (max peak conducted power)- Unwanted emission leveln Less than -30 dBm- Antenna gainn RSU : 23 dBi, Vehicle : 21 dBi (for V2V), 14 dBi (for V2I)The definition of RF output power “the RF output power is the mean equivalent isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) for the equipment during a transmission burst. The mean e.i.r.p. refers to the highest power level of the transmitter power control range during the transmission cycle if the transmitter power control is implemented” in [9] may need to be clarified, e.g., the notion of “transmission burst.”It is noted that there is ongoing discussion in ETSI to adjust ITS spectrum at 63-64 GHz because this spectrum overlaps with two RLAN channels [10, 11]. Based on further progress, ITS frequency allocation above 6 GHz in Europe may be updated, e.g., shift the center frequency of ITS band to 62.64 or 64.80 GHz and enlarge its bandwidth up to 2.16 GHz.5.3 Korean regulationIn Korean regulations, frequency band 57.0-66.0 GHz is currently assigned for the purpose of communications for earth exploration satellite(Passive), fixed and Inter-satellite [12], but no specific use cases are determined yet and the spectrum is being underutilized [Footnote K176C in 12].5.4 Chinese regulationThere is no Chinese regulation for using ITS application in above 6GHz.6 Evaluation methodologyThe evaluation methodology in this document is used as a baseline for evaluating technical solutions and can be modified later as necessary.6.1 System level simulation assumptions6.1.1 Evaluation scenariosFor both below and above 6 GHz, the road configuration for urban grid and highway in [4] is used and the details are provided in Annex A.Parameters regarding evaluation scenarios below 6 GHz are given in the following table:Table 6.1.1-1: Evaluation scenarios below 6 GHzParametersUrban grid for eV2XHighway for eV2XCarrier frequency Macro to/from vehicle/pedestrian UE : 4 GHz Between vehicle/pedestrian UE: 6 GHzMicro BS to/from vehicle/pedestrian UE : 4 GHz UE-type-RSU to/from vehicle/pedestrian UE: 6 GHz Note: Agreed value does not mean non-ITS band is precluded for real deployment for sidelinkMacro to/from vehicle/pedestrian UE : 2 GHz or 4GHzBetween vehicle/pedestrian UE: 6 GHzMicro BS to/from vehicle/pedestrian UE : 4 GHzUE-type-RSU to/from vehicle/pedestrian UE: 6 GHzNote: Agreed value does not mean non-ITS band is precluded for real deployment for sidelinkAggregated system bandwidthUp to 200 MHz (DL+UL)Up to 100 MHz (SL) Up to 200 MHz (DL+UL)Up to 100 MHz (SL) Simulation bandwidth20 or 40 MHz (DL+UL) 10 and 20 MHz (baseline for SL)100 MHz (optional for SL)20 or 40 MHz (DL+UL)10 and 20 MHz (baseline for SL)100 MHz (optional for SL)BS Tx power Macro BS: 49dBm PA scaled down proportionally with simulation BW when system BW is higher than simulation BW.
