Efficient resource management in direct and indirect transmission in V2X communications

Autonomous driving systems consist of vehicles that are able to communicate not only with other vehicles but also with entities in their environment, forming vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. However, the V2X applications have intense requirements posing a significant challenge to the telecommunication infrastructure. In this work, we consider two types of transmission, i.e. direct and indirect, and we utilize analytical traffic-engineering models with a view to conduct a performance analysis of a vehicular network that enables V2X communication. We additionally propose two resource management strategies in order to decrease the request rejection probability and consequently ensure enhanced communication conditions. The results reveal that the proposed resource management strategies constitute a strong asset for improving the system’s service provisioning capability.
