Abstract
The advent of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication has opened the opportunity to design advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that collect information from sensors in neighboring vehicles and roadside infrastructure. IEEE and ETSI have designed network protocol standards for V2X communications. Despite the differences between the vehicular wireless communication architecture defined by ETSI and the IEEE protocol stack, the two standards have multichannel operations as a main commonality, with some channels dedicated to safety-critical applications and others to nonsafety services. Some recent studies have demonstrated that these standards might not provide sufficient channel utilization for reliable exchange of information in mid- and heavily congested scenarios. In this paper, we propose and evaluate the performance of a driver-assistance system to reduce the connectivity gaps between vehicles and roadside units (RSUs). This cooperative system of multi-service channel allocation will improve radio channel utilization. We also show that the required latency for this inter-vehicle communication can be obtained using the IEEE-WAVE standards and dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) proposed for vehicular environments. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the average throughput by up to 15 % in various traffic density conditions compared with the dynamic channel allocation method.
