0 Introduction p. 7

This document covers use cases and potential requirements for LTE support for vehicular communications services (represented by the term, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Services). The TR on LTE support for V2X services contains three types of V2X (V2V (vehicle to vehicle), V2I (vehicle to infrastructure/network), and V2P (vehicle to pedestrian)) and both safety and non-safety aspects.

1 Scope p. 8

The objective of this TR is to identify use cases and associated potential requirements for LTE support of V2X services taking into account V2X Services and parameters defined in other SDOs (e.g. GSMA Connected Living, ETSI ITS (Intelligent Transportation System), US SAE) or related governmental agency (e.g. C-ITS project in Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport). The essential use cases for LTE V2X (V2V, V2I, and V2P) to be studied and requirements identified are as follows;

V2V: covering LTE-based communication between vehicles.
V2P: covering LTE-based communication between a vehicle and a device carried by an individual (e.g. handheld terminal carried by a pedestrian, cyclist, driver or passenger).
V2I: covering LTE-based communication between a vehicle and a roadside unit.

This TR includes safety and non-safety aspects.

3.1 Definitions p. 8

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply.

A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.

Road Side Unit:

An entity supporting V2I Service that can transmit to, and receive from a UE using V2I application. RSU is implemented in an eNB or a stationary UE.

V2I Service:

A type of V2X Service, where one party is a UE and the other party is an RSU both using V2I application.

V2N Service:

A type of V2X Service, where one party is a UE and the other party is a serving entity, both using V2N applications and communicating with each other via LTE network entities.

V2P Service:

A type of V2X Service, where both parties of the communication are UEs using V2P application.

V2V Service:

A type of V2X Service, where both parties of the communication are UEs using V2V application.

V2X Service:

A type of communication service that involves a transmitting or receiving UE using V2V application via 3GPP transport. Based on the other party involved in the communication, it can be further divided into V2V Service, V2I Service, V2P Service, and V2N Service.

4 Overview p. 9

4.1 Types of V2X p. 9

The vehicular communication in this TR, referred to as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), contains the following three different types:

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communications
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communications
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) Communications

Three basic classes of applications for providing ITS services: road safety, traffic efficiency, and other applications can be found in e.g., [2],[3].

4.2 Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) p. 10

E-UTRAN allows such UEs that are in proximity of each other to exchange V2V-related information using E-UTRA(N) when permission, authorisation and proximity criteria are fulfilled. The proximity criteria can be configured by the MNO. However, UEs supporting V2V Service can exchange such information when served by or not served by E-UTRAN which supports V2X Service.

The UE supporting V2V applications transmits application layer information (e.g. about its location, dynamics, and attributes as part of the V2V Service). The V2V payload must be flexible in order to accommodate different information contents, and the information can be transmitted periodically according to a configuration provided by the MNO.

V2V is predominantly broadcast-based; V2V includes the exchange of V2V-related application information between distinct UEs directly and/or, due to the limited direct communication range of V2V, the exchange of V2V-related application information between distinct UEs via infrastructure supporting V2X Service, e.g., RSU, application server, etc.

4.3 Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) p. 10

The UE supporting V2I applications sends application layer information to RSU. RSU sends application layer information to a group of UEs or a UE supporting V2I applications.

V2N is also introduced where one party is a UE and the other party is a serving entity, both supporting V2N applications and communicating with each other via LTE network.

4.4 Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) p. 10

E-UTRAN allows such UEs that are in proximity of each other to exchange V2P-related information using E-UTRAN when permission, authorisation and proximity criteria are fulfilled. The proximity criteria can be configured by the MNO. However, UEs supporting V2P Service can exchange such information even when not served by E-UTRAN which supports V2X Service.

The UE supporting V2P applications transmits application layer information. Such information can be broadcast by a vehicle with UE supporting V2X Service (e.g., warning to pedestrian), and/or by a pedestrian with UE supporting V2X Service (e.g., warning to vehicle).

V2P includes the exchange of V2P-related application information between distinct UEs (one for vehicle and the other for pedestrian) directly and/or, due to the limited direct communication range of V2P, the exchange of V2P-related application information between distinct UEs via infrastructure supporting V2X Service, e.g., RSU, application server, etc.
