The VAE server supports monitoring of 3GPP systems' network situation for V2X services. The VAE server receives and processes access network-related monitoring events/reports from SCEF (EPS entity of the 3GPP network system) as specified in
TS 23.682. The monitoring events/report may also include RAN-related resource/traffic situation information and QoS related notifications per UE or group of UEs. The VAE server initiates monitoring of the QoS for single or aggregately for groups of vehicles (supporting a V2X service and being in proximity) having ongoing sessions. The information from V2X UE related to monitoring events (e.g. location, groups, resource usage) can be available at the VAE server using the network resource management and location management services of the SEAL.
The VAE server acts as SCS/AS and initiates the procedure for monitoring with the SCEF as specified in the
clause 5.6 in TS 23.682 and
clause 5.8 in TS 23.682 by including the V2X application information corresponding to one or many V2X UEs.
The SCEF provides the monitoring reports (including the RAN related network situation information and QoS notification information for the corresponding V2X application, V2X UE or group of V2X UEs) to the VAE server as specified in the
clause 5.6 in TS 23.682,
clause 5.8 in TS 23.682 and
clause 5.11 in TS 23.682.
