Contribution

It introduces a novel dynamic platooning approach that considers coverage, capacity, MAC, and spectrum reuse to meet strict QoS requirements in HDVP.

Findings

Improved communication reliability in high-density platoons

Enhanced spectrum efficiency through dynamic spectrum reuse

Guarantees low latency and high reliability in vehicle communication

Abstract

In a self-driving environment, vehicles communicate with each other to create a closely spaced multiple vehicle strings on a highway, i.e., high-density vehicle platooning (HDVP). In this paper, we address the Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) quality of service (QoS) and radio coverage issues for HDVP and propose a dynamic platooning mechanism taking into account the change of coverage condition, the road capacity, medium access control (MAC) and spectrum reuse while at the same time guaranteeing the stringent QoS requirements in terms of latency and reliability.
