Cellular V2X for Connected Automated Driving

A unique examination of  cellular communication technologies for connected automated driving,  combining expert insights from telecom and automotive industries as well  as technical and scientific knowledge from industry and academia

Cellular  vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technologies enable vehicles to  communicate both with the network, with each other, and with other road  users using reliable, responsive, secure, and high-capacity  communication links. Cellular V2X for Connected Automated Driving  provides an up-to-date view of the role of C-V2X technologies in  connected automated driving (CAD) and connected road user (CRU)  services, such as advanced driving support, improved road safety,  infotainment, over-the-air software updates, remote driving, and traffic  efficiency services enabling the future large-scale transition to  self-driving vehicles. This timely book discusses where C-V2X technology  is situated within the increasingly interconnected ecosystems of the  mobile communications and automotive industries.

An  expert contributor team from both industry and academia explore  potential applications, business models, standardization, spectrum and  channel modelling, network enhancements, security and privacy, and more.  Broadly divided into two parts―introductory and advanced material―the  text first introduces C-V2X technology and introduces a variety of use  cases and opportunities, requiring no prerequisite technical knowledge.  The second part of the book assumes a basic understanding of the field  of telecommunications, presenting technical descriptions of the radio,  system aspects, and network design for the previously discussed  applications. This up-to-date resource:

•Provides  technical details from the finding of the European Commission H2020 5G  PPP 5GCAR project, a collaborative research initiative between the  telecommunications and automotive industries and academic researchers

•Elaborates  on use cases, business models, and a technology roadmap for those  seeking to shape a start-up in the area of automated and autonomous  driving

•Provides up  to date descriptions of standard specifications, standardization and  industry organizations and important regulatory aspects for connected  vehicles

•Provides  technical insights and solutions for the air interface, network  architecture, positioning and security to support vehicles at different  automation levels

•Includes  detailed tables, plots, and equations to clarify concepts, accompanied  by online tutorial slides for use in teaching and seminars

Thanks  to its mix of introductory content and technical information, Cellular  V2X for Connected Automated Driving is a must-have for industry and  academic researchers, telecom and automotive industry practitioners,  leaders, policymakers, and regulators, and university-level instructors  and students.
