Initial Parameters Selection for Serving Uplink URLLC Traffic of High-Mobility Users

Abstract—5G cellular systems provide a new service called Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). In many URLLC scenarios (e.g., intelligent transport systems), users move at high speed and transmit data in the uplink. The base station shall assign transmission parameters that satisfy the strict quality of service requirements of URLLC applications and consume the least amount of channel resources. At high speed, users often change the serving base station. In this case, the task of selecting transmission parameters is complicated by the fact that the base station does not have channel quality measurements for the new user. This paper proposes various methods for selecting the initial transmission parameters when user connects to the base station. Using simulations, the paper compares various methods for different user speeds. Recommendations are given on the selection of initial parameters that provide a low amount of consumed channel resources.
