With the increasing adoption of intelligent transportation systems and the upcoming era of autonomous vehicles, vehicular services (such as, remote driving, cooperative awareness, and hazard warning) will face an ever changing and dynamic environment. Traffic flows on the roads is a critical condition for these services and, therefore, it is of paramount importance to forecast how they will evolve over time. By knowing future events (such as, traffic jams), vehicular services can be dimensioned in an on-demand fashion in order to minimize Service Level Agreements (SLAs) violations, thus reducing the chances of car accidents. This research departs from an evaluation of traditional time-series techniques with recent Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions to forecast traffic flows in the roads of Torino (Italy). Given the accuracy of the selected forecasting techniques, a forecast-based scaling algorithm is proposed and evaluated over a set of dimensioning experiments of three distinct vehicular services with strict latency requirements. Results show that the proposed scaling algorithm enables resource savings of up to a 5% at the cost of incurring in an increase of less than 0.4% of latency violations.

Security is a primary concern for the networks aiming at the utilization of Cellular (C) services for connecting Vehicles to Everything (V2X). At present, C-V2X is observing a paradigm shift from Long Term Evolution (LTE) - Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) to Fifth Generation (5G) based functional architecture. However, security and credential management are still concerns to be resolved under 5G-V2X. A sizably voluminous number of key updates and non-availability of sub-functions at the edge cause adscititious overheads and decrement the performance while alarming the possibilities of variants of cyber attacks. In this paper, security management is studied as a principle of sustainability and its tradeoff is evaluated with the number of key-updates required to maintain an authenticated connection of a vehicle to the 5G-terminals keeping intact the security functions at the backhaul. A numerical study is presented to determine the claims and understand the proposed tradeoff.
Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) networks can operate without cellular infrastructure support. Vehicles can autonomously select their radio resources using the sensing-based Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) algorithm specified by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The sensing nature of the SPS scheme makes C-V2X communications prone to the well-known hidden-terminal problem. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel geo-based scheduling scheme that allows vehicles to autonomously select their radio resources based on the location and ordering of neighboring vehicles on the road. The proposed scheme results in an implicit resource selection coordination between vehicles (even with those outside the sensing range) that reduces packet collisions. This paper evaluates analytically and through simulations the proposed scheduling scheme. The obtained results demonstrate that it reduces packet collisions and significantly increases the C-V2X performance compared to when using the sensing-based SPS scheme.
Cellular-Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) aims at resolving issues pertaining to the traditional usability of Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) networking. Specifically, C-V2X lowers the number of entities involved in vehicular communications and allows the inclusion of cellular-security solutions to be applied to V2X. For this, the evolvement of LTE-V2X is revolutionary, but it fails to handle the demands of high throughput, ultra-high reliability, and ultra-low latency alongside its security mechanisms. To counter this, 5G-V2X is considered as an integral solution, which not only resolves the issues related to LTE-V2X but also provides a function-based network setup. Several reports have been given for the security of 5G, but none of them primarily focuses on the security of 5G-V2X. This article provides a detailed overview of 5G-V2X with a security-based comparison to LTE-V2X. A novel Security Reflex Function (SRF)-based architecture is proposed and several research challenges are presented related to the security of 5G-V2X. Furthermore, the article lays out requirements of Ultra-Dense and Ultra-Secure (UD-US) transmissions necessary for 5G-V2X.
Cellular (C) setups facilitate the connectivity amongst the devices with better provisioning of services to its users. Vehicular networks are one of the representative setups that aim at expanding their functionalities by using the available cellular systems like Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) as well as the upcoming Fifth Generation (5G)-based functional architecture. The vehicular networks include Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P) and Vehicle to Network (V2N), all of which are referred to as Vehicle to Everything (V2X). 5G has dominated the vehicular network and most of the upcoming research is motivated towards the fully functional utilization of 5G-V2X. Despite that, credential management and edge-initiated security are yet to be resolved under 5G-V2X. To further understand the issue, this paper presents security management as a principle of sustainability and key-management. The performance tradeoff is evaluated with the key-updates required to maintain a secure connection between the vehicles and the 5G-terminals. The proposed approach aims at the utilization of high-speed mmWave-based backhaul for enhancing the security operations between the core and the sub-divided functions at the edge of the network through a dual security management framework. The evaluations are conducted using numerical simulations, which help to understand the impact on the sustainability of connections as well as identification of the fail-safe points for secure and fast operations. Furthermore, the evaluations help to follow the multiple tradeoffs of security and performance based on the metrics like mandatory key updates, the range of operations and the probability of connectivity.
The newly introduced ultra-reliable low latency communication service class in 5G New Radio depends on innovative low latency radio resource management solutions that can guarantee high reliability. Grant-free random access, where channel resources are accessed without undergoing assignment through a handshake process, is proposed in 5G New Radio as an important latency reducing solution. However, this comes at an increased likelihood of collisions resulting from uncontrolled channel access, when the same resources are preallocated to a group of users. Novel reliability enhancement techniques are therefore needed. This article provides an overview of grant-free random access in 5G New Radio focusing on the ultra-reliable low latency communication service class, and presents two reliability-enhancing solutions. The first proposes retransmissions over shared resources, whereas the second proposal incorporates grant-free transmission with non-orthogonal multiple access with overlapping transmissions being resolved through the use of advanced receivers. Both proposed solutions result in significant performance gains, in terms of reliability as well as resource efficiency. For example, the proposed non-orthogonal multiple access scheme can support a normalized load of more than 1.5 users/slot at packet loss rates of ~10^{-5} - a significant improvement over the maximum supported load with conventional grant-free schemes like slotted-ALOHA.
