Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) will create many new opportunities in the area of wireless communications, while its feasibility on enabling vehicular positioning has not been explored yet. Vehicular positioning is a crucial operation for autonomous driving. Its complexity and stringent safety requirement render conventional technologies like RADAR and LIDAR inadequate. This article aims at investigating whether V2X can help vehicular positioning from different perspectives. We first explain V2Xs critical advantages over other approaches and suggest new scenarios of V2X-based vehicular positioning. Then we review the state-of-the-art positioning techniques discussed in the ongoing 3GPP standardization and point out their limitations. Lastly, some promising research directions for V2X-based vehicular positioning are presented, which shed light on realizing fully autonomous driving by overcoming the current barriers.

Autonomous driving (auto-driving) has been becoming a killer technology for next generation vehicles, whereas some fatal accidents grow concerns about its safety. A fundamental function for safer auto-driving is to recognize the vehicles locations, t
ermed vehicular positioning. The state-of-the-art vehicular positioning is to rely on anchors that are stationary objects whose locations are known, i.e. satellites for GPS and base stations for cellular positioning. It is important for reliable positioning to install anchors densely, helping find enough anchors nearby. For the deployment to be cost-effective, there are some trials to use backscatter tags as alternative anchors by deploying them on a road surface, but its gain is limited by several reasons such as short contact time and difficulties in maintenance. Instead, we propose a new backscatter-tag assisted vehicular positioning system where tags are deployed along a roadside, which enables the extension of contact duration and facilitates the maintenance. On the other hand, there is a location mismatch between the vehicle and the tag, calling for developing a new backscatter transmission to estimate their relative position. To this end, we design a novel waveform called joint frequency-and-phase modulation (JFPM) for backscatter-tag assisted vehicular positioning where a transmit frequency is modulated for the distance estimation assuming that the relevant signal is clearly differentiable from the others while the phase modulation helps the differentiation. The JFPM waveform leads to exploiting the maximum Degree-of-Freedoms (DoFs) of backscatter channel in which multiple-access and broadcasting channels coexist, leading to more accurate positioning verified by extensive simulations.
Real-time status update in future vehicular networks is vital to enable control-level cooperative autonomous driving. Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), as one of the most promising vehicular wireless technologies, adopts a Semi-Persistent Sched
uling (SPS) based Medium-Access-Control (MAC) layer protocol for its sidelink communications. Despite the recent and ongoing efforts to optimize SPS, very few work has considered the status update performance of SPS. In this paper, Age of Information (AoI) is first leveraged to evaluate the MAC layer performance of C-V2X sidelink. Critical issues of SPS, i.e., persistent packet collisions and Half-Duplex (HD) effects, are identified to hinder its AoI performance. Therefore, a piggyback-based collaboration method is proposed accordingly, whereby vehicles collaborate to inform each other of potential collisions and collectively afford HD errors, while entailing only a small signaling overhead. Closed-form AoI performance is derived for the proposed scheme, optimal configurations for key parameters are hence calculated, and the convergence property is proved for decentralized implementation. Simulation results show that compared with the standardized SPS and its state-of-the-art enhancement schemes, the proposed scheme shows significantly better performance, not only in terms of AoI, but also of conventional metrics such as transmission reliability.
Channel estimation for hybrid Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems at Millimeter-Waves (mmW)/sub-THz is a fundamental, despite challenging, prerequisite for an efficient design of hybrid MIMO precoding/combining. Most works propose sequentia
l search algorithms, e.g., Compressive Sensing (CS), that are most suited to static channels and consequently cannot apply to highly dynamic scenarios such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). To address the latter ones, we leverage textit{recurrent vehicle passages} to design a novel Multi Vehicular (MV) hybrid MIMO channel estimation suited for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) systems. Our approach derives the analog precoder/combiner through a MV beam alignment procedure. For the digital precoder/combiner, we adapt the Low-Rank (LR) channel estimation method to learn the position-dependent eigenmodes of the received digital signal (after beamforming), which is used to estimate the compressed channel in the communication phase. Extensive numerical simulations, obtained with ray-tracing channel data and realistic vehicle trajectories, demonstrate the benefits of our solution in terms of both achievable Spectral Efficiency (SE) and Mean Square Error (MSE) compared to the Unconstrained Maximum Likelihood (U-ML) estimate of the compressed digital channel, making it suitable for both 5G and future 6G systems. Most notably, in some scenarios, we obtain the performance of the optimal Fully Digital (FD) systems.
The millimeter wave (mmWave) communication has drawn intensive attention with abundant band resources. In this paper, we consider the popular content distribution (PCD) problem in the mmWave vehicular network. In order to offload the communication bu
rden of base stations (BSs), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is introduced into the PCD problem to transmit contents between on-board units (OBUs) and improve the transmission efficiency. We propose a full-duplex (FD) cooperative scheme based on coalition formation game, and the utility function is provided based on the maximization of the number of received contents. The contribution of each member in the coalition can be transferable to its individual profit. While maximizing the number of received contents in the fixed time, the cooperative scheme also ensures the individual profit of each OBU in the coalition. We evaluate the proposed scheme by extensive simulations in mmWave vehicular networks. Compared with other existing schemes, the proposed scheme has superior performances on the number of possessed contents and system fairness. Besides, the low complexity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by the switch operation number and CPU time.
Multi-point detection of the full-scale environment is an important issue in autonomous driving. The state-of-the-art positioning technologies (such as RADAR and LIDAR) are incapable of real-time detection without line-of-sight. To address this issue
, this paper presents a novel multi-point vehicular positioning technology via emph{millimeter-wave} (mmWave) transmission that exploits multi-path reflection from a emph{target vehicle} (TV) to a emph{sensing vehicle} (SV), which enables the SV to fast capture both the shape and location information of the TV in emph{non-line-of-sight} (NLoS) under the assistance of multi-path reflections. A emph{phase-difference-of-arrival} (PDoA) based hyperbolic positioning algorithm is designed to achieve the synchronization between the TV and SV. The emph{stepped-frequency-continuous-wave} (SFCW) is utilized as signals for multi-point detection of the TVs. Transceiver separation enables our approach to work in NLoS conditions and achieve much lower latency compared with conventional positioning techniques.
