The first set of specifications for the Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology has been issued by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in Release 14 to enable the exchange of periodic cooperative awareness messages supporting basic safety applications. Enhancements towards 5G New Radio (NR) V2X are under study in Release 16 in order to support advanced vehicular use cases with stricter latency and reliability demands, and different traffic patterns (e.g., aperiodic messages, unicast delivery). In this paper, we focus on the support of aperiodic traffic like Decentralized Environmental Messages (DENMs), which are sent out asynchronously to vehicles alerting them to road hazard events such as anomalous traffic conditions, road-works or signal violation, emergency braking. DENMs can be repeatedly transmitted in a relevant area to increase message reliability during the event lifetime. Simulations have been conducted to analyze scenarios where periodic and event-triggered messages share the same radio resource pool(s) in the autonomous sidelink mode of NR V2X. The main parameters of the autonomous resource allocation mechanism affecting the DENM delivery have been investigated as well as the benefits of DENM repetitions, while also considering their impact over periodically transmitted messages, under different simulation settings.

Abstract
The first set of specifications for the Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology has been issued by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in Release 14 to enable the exchange of periodic cooperative awareness messages supporting basic safety applications. Enhancements towards 5G New Radio (NR) V2X are under study in Release 16 in order to support advanced vehicular use cases with stricter latency and reliability demands, and different traffic patterns (e.g., aperiodic messages, unicast delivery). In this paper, we focus on the support of aperiodic traffic like Decentralized Environmental Messages (DENMs), which are sent out asynchronously to vehicles alerting them to road hazard events such as anomalous traffic conditions, road-works or signal violation, emergency braking. DENMs can be repeatedly transmitted in a relevant area to increase message reliability during the event lifetime. Simulations have been conducted to analyze scenarios where periodic and event-triggered messages share the same radio resource pool(s) in the autonomous sidelink mode of NR V2X. The main parameters of the autonomous resource allocation mechanism affecting the DENM delivery have been investigated as well as the benefits of DENM repetitions, while also considering their impact over periodically transmitted messages, under different simulation settings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
