Session Description
This session is predicated on the understanding that safe and efficient automated vehicle movements can profoundly benefit from short-range connectivity. It also recognizes that the potential breadth of Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) V2V and V2I applications will demand spectrum. The session will convene experts and breakout participants to consider CAV protocols for advanced cooperative maneuver, sensor sharing or other future concepts. (See for example inter at intersections as demonstrated at CES https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/cv2x-system-ces-2019/).
Goals/Objectives/Outputs
The session is aimed at developing expert inputs to secure global spectrum to enable future CAV applications. Objectives/deliverables are three-fold:
- Familiarize participants with CAV concepts. (Organizers will bring in use cases and experts from 3GPP, 5GAA, 5GPPP, IEEE802.11, ITU-R SG5 WP5A and other sources, but the expert attendees are expected to vet them.)
- Familiarize participants with available spectrum and potential issues, e.g., interference.
- Determine spectrum needs for future CAV based on guided discussion. This can be a significant output, as the collective expertise of this group give credence to spectrum allocation efforts.(e.g., ITU-R SG5 WP5A, WRC23, WRC27)
- Proceedings and in particular item 3 will be described in a written report to be made available to spectrum and CAV experts.
Agenda
1:30 PM – 1:45 PM Motivation
- Jim Misener, Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcomm
1:45 PM – 2:30 PM Advanced Cooperative Driving Concepts: Connected and Automated Vehicle Applications in our Future
- Jack Walpuck, Connected Vehicle Engineer, Ford Motor Company
2:30 PM – 3:00 PM Break
3:00 PM – 3:45 PM Fundamentals of Application Protocol Messages
This will include an expert briefing on how to model and map message size to spectrum needs. The key parameters in such a model are desired communications range, vehicle density, frequency band, message frequency, message reliability, and transmitter/receiver characteristics (e.g., transmit power and number of antennas).
