Enhance your Driving Experience with 5G powers V2X (5G spectrum for cars)

Vehicle to everything (V2X) is a new term in the field of automobile, that refers to high-bandwidth, low latency and highly reliable communication between a broad range of transport and traffic-related sensors. Connectivity for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications will be provided by 5G mobile networks. 

C-V2X technology is an amazing way using which vehicles and drivers interact with the world, including vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. It is an essential stepping stone for the ongoing digitization of transportation by providing real-time, highly reliable, and actionable information flows to enable road safety, traffic efficiency and environmental progress. The auto and telecom industry – collaborating under 5GAA - supports the idea that 5G will further enable mission-critical enhanced V2X communications and be the ultimate platform to enable impactful C-ITS services.

Direct C-V2X provides increased communication range (~2X), better non-line-of-sight (NLOS) performance, enhanced reliability, and cost-efficiency without relying on cellular network assistance or coverage for enhanced safety services when compared with 802.11p-based technologies,.

It offers a new and complementary capabilities for autonomous driving, all while maintaining backward compatibility. Designed to support direct communications, it will incorporate 5G NR features, such as high throughput, lower latency and ultra-reliable communication capabilities to enable advanced use cases for autonomous vehicles.

It’s Perception sharing share the high throughput sensor data using real-world models, also providing intention and trajectory sharing for faster, yet safe maneuvers. Its Real-time local updates sharing of local data such as 3D HD maps in real-time. Its coordinated driving providing intention and sensor information.

Up to now, V2X communications have been enabled through the use of Direct Short Range Communications (DSRC), a technology similar to the same Wi-Fi technologies that we use every day. As we enter into the 5G era, a new protocol is coming to the forefront: Cellular V2X (C-V2X) which is defined as part of the 5G network standard.
