5G NR for reliable vehicle-to-vehicle communication
NR-Sidelink was introduced as part of the 3GPP specification version 16 and enables device-to-device communication both inside and outside the network coverage.
This is used for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for various use cases defined for V2X applications.
Fraunhofer IIS has extended the 5G NR implementation in the Access Stratum to support NR sidelink mode2 communication. This real-time prototyping allows to test different possible configurations in NR sidelink mode2 to fulfill the requirements for the defined V2X use cases.
