Supporting Vehicle-to-Everything Services by 5G New Radio Release-16 Systems

• Release-16 of the 5G New Radio (NR), developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), includes technology enablers for advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication services that go far beyond those offered by Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. In particular, the Release-16 NR cellular interface and the NR sidelink interface are designed to enable platooning, advanced driving such as collision avoidance and cooperative lane change, extended sensors, and remote driving use cases. Compared to the LTE sidelink, the NR sidelink is equipped with a host of new capabilities including physical layer unicast and groupcast, reliable communication using feedback-based retransmissions, operation in millimeter-wave frequencies, advanced resource allocation, and quality of service management. In this article, we summarize the outcome of the related work carried out in 3GPP and discuss how the Release-16 NR capabilities can be used to provide advanced V2X services. We conclude by discussing next steps of the V2X service evolution and the NR sidelink capabilities.
