7. DSRC & WAVE
PHY and MAC layers are defined in 802.11p
which was derived from 802.11a.
11p mainly focuses on:
- Vehicular Safety,
- Better traffic management
11p was developed in 2010, since then many
advances have been made in the 802.11
protocols.
New techniques of 802.11 n/ac/ax can enhance
802.11p.
IEEE 802.11bd Task Group was created in Jan,
2019. Final standards – Dec, 2021.

8. DSRC Spectrum
In 1999, FCC allocated 75 MHz of bandwidth (5.850-5.925 GHz).
Seven 10 MHz wide channels.
One control channel (CCH) – System control and safety-related message.
Four service channels (SCH) – Non-safety messages.
Two channels at the end reserved for special uses.
Slide 8
9. 802.11p Features Overview
WAVE MODE
Instantaneous data exchange without any
overhead for safety messages.
Use wildcard BSSID in the MAC header.
WAVE BSS
Used for non-safety application, such as digital
map download.
Station joins the BSS by only receiving a WAVE
advertisement.
A station of a WBSS can still transmit and receive
safety messages using wildcard BSSID.

802.11bd
11. 802.11bd: Midambles
Channel varies within the frame duration.
Using only preamble to estimate the channel for the whole frame is not sufficient.
802.11bd proposed to use midambles to address this issue.
Frequency of midambles will depend on factors like modulation, error control, Doppler
spread, etc.
11bd: Insertion of midambles for improved channel estimation.
Preamble Data_1 Midamble Data_2 Midamble Data_3
Preamble Data_1 Data_2 Data_3 Data_4
802.11p uses only preamble
Slide 11
12. 802.11bd: Retransmission
To improve reliability, TGbd proposes retransmission mechanism.
Additional messages will be
filtered out by upper layer.
Additional messages will be
filtered out by data link layer.
Retransmissions are reduced as
channel load increases (based on
Channel Busy Ratio measurement) to
avoid congestion.
Slide 12
13. 802.11bd: OFDM Numerologies
For the same signal bandwidth, different OFDM tone
numerology can be designed.
Smaller tone spacing (TS) can achieve better OFDM
efficiency, (same cyclic-prefix (CP) duration).
But observes worse ICI, and larger channel variation
across OFDM symbols.
OFDM numerology candidates:
TS=156.25kHz, FFTsize=64
Max CP of 1.6us
TS=78.125kHz, FFTsize=128
Max CP of 3.2us
TS=39.0625kHz, FFTsize=256
Max CP of 6.4us

17. 802.11bd: Challenges
Interoperability & Backward Compatibility
Imposes certain constraints on the design of PHY and MAC layers.
Multiple antenna schemes like space time block coding violates the interoperability
requirement.
Coexistence
A mechanism is required for an 11bd device to notify other 11bd devices about its capabilities.
Otherwise, even if there are no 11p devices, 11bd devices continue to transmit using 11p
format.

21. C-V2X: Physical Layer
•C-V2X utilizes single-carrier frequency-division
multiple access
•Supports 10- and 20-MHz channels.
• Each channel is divided into subframes, resource blocks
(RBs), and subchannels.
•An Resource Block (RB) is the smallest unit of
frequency resources
• It is 180 kHz wide in frequency (12 subcarriers of 15 kHz).
•C-V2X defines subchannels as a group of RBs in the
same subframe, and the number of RBs per
subchannel can vary.
•Subchannels are used to transmit data and control
information.
• The data is transmitted over (PSSCH), and the sidelink
control information (SCI) transmitted over physical sidelink
control channels (PSCCH)
22. C-V2X Mode4 : Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS)
Mode 4
Out of Coverage Mode
Resources are Scheduled by UE
PC5- Direct
Communication
Semi-Persistent
Scheduling (SPS)
Message Packet generated at time ‘n’
• Step 1: Transmitting vehicle will identify all the
subframe resources it could reserve from the
selection window.
• Step 2: Vehicle identifies the list of available
subframe resources (LA). LA excludes
• all those resources based on the RRC field received
in SCI that shows the resources reserved
• those subframes in which the RSSI is above then
the defined threshold
• Step 3: From the LA it will create the list (LC) of
candidate subframe resources (CSRs).
• The LC from the list LA selects the 20% of subframes
identified in step 1 that have least average RSSI

24. C-V2X Mode 3:
• The selection of subchannels is
managed by the base station or
evolved NodeB (eNB)
• As opposed to mode 4, the
standards do not specify a resource
management algorithm for mode 3
• Each operator can implement its own
algorithm

26. Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast Transmission
•C-V2X supports broadcast mode only
•NR supports unicast, multicast and broadcast transmission mode
•Transmission mode defined at PHY layer
• if a packet belongs to a unicast or groupcast mode, then non-participant UEs does
not decode

29. Mini Slot / Multi Slot
•One Slot is comprised of 14 OFDM symbols
• Slot length depends on SC spacing
• (1ms for 15 kHz SC to 0.125ms for 120 kHz SC)
• Mini-slot (2, 4, or 7 symbols) can be allocated for shorter transmissions (NR)
• Slots can also be aggregated for longer transmissions

31. Pre-emptive Scheduling
UE #1 is scheduledon the
shared channel
Scheduled transmission time for UE #1
Latency critical data arrives for UE #2, and is
immediately scheduled by puncturing the ongoing
transmission to UE #1, rather than waiting for its
completion, i.e.avoiding additional latency.
UE #1 receives the scheduled transmission, where
part of it ispunctured.

32. Coexistence of NR & C-V2X
FDM Approach:
•Uses same ITS band for NR and C-V2x
• Latency critical use cases
• However, Out of band emissions create interference
• Total permissible radiated power should not exceed
TDM Approach:
•Two RATs occur in different channels and at different time instants.
• maximum permissible transmission power can be used
• disadvantageous for latency critical use-cases
34. Networks Today
Today’s Networking:
◦ Device Centric
◦ Communicate by addressing the device.
◦ >90% of traffic is accessing different kind of Content.
◦ Inefficient for Content/data dissemination.
◦ Multicast ~ at huge cost of Network resources.
◦ Addressing ~ Inefficient : DNS, IPv4/6, etc. to identify devices.
◦ Service Discovery ~ Many protocols, with no standard.
◦ Mobility? ~ Achievable but not inherent in today’s networks.
◦ Security? ~ Connection: IPSec, VPN, SSL, but not Content ….
Result --> spam.
35. Problems of IP Networking
Does not easily support
◦ Multipath forwarding
◦ Mobility
◦ Multicast
Insufficient & complex security
mechanisms
Application oriented (e.g. for IoT)
36. Causes of IP Networking Problems
Designed for communication and not distribution network: host-centric packet
delivery
Channel-based security
37. What is NDN?
•Distribution-based network: more general than communication networks
•Data-Centric rather than host centric as current IP based network
•Instance of Information-Centric Networking (ICN)
•Focus on fetching data identified by given name.
•Name of a packet is used to make forwarding decisions
•Router caches received data and use it to satisfy future requests
38. NDN Solutions to IP Networking Problems
Secure data instead of channels
Name data directly instead of host
Support stateful forwarding with opportunistic caching
Use the same name and data unit at both application and network layers
41. Names in NDN
Names are opaque to the network
Hierarchical namespaces are essential
Deterministically construct the name for dynamically generated data
Globally unique names: for data that are to be retrieved globally
Interest selectors with longest prefix matching retrieve desired data
42. Forwarding Process at an NDN Node
• Like IP networking, routing
protocols are used to
populate FIB
• However, they use names
prefixes instead of IP
prefixes
• NDN routing protocol:
NDN based link-state
routing (NLSR) protocol

Editor's Notes
DSRC : 802.11p based MAC protocol. OFDM based PHY; Channel Bandwidth 10 MHz; 2-downclock carrier spacing; Carrier Sense Multiple Access MAC
C-V2X: Release 14, TLTE Uu; PC5 interface. Transmission mode 3 and mode 4. 14 OFDM symbols, 1msec sub-frame; 12 subcarriers each of 15 KHz.
DMRS 4 out of 14 OFDM symbols.
PSCCH and PSSCH are multiplexed in frequency domain.
Vehicles equipped with C-V2X are expected to hit the roads soon [40]. Considering that vehicles typically have a life-span of one or more decades [54], NR V2X is likely to have to coexist with C-V2X. However, NR V2X is not backward compatible with C-V2X [39]. This incompatibility stems from, among other factors, the use of multiple numerologies in NR V2X. A C-V2X device operating at 15 kHz sub-carrier spacing, cannot decode messages transmitted using the 30 or 60 kHz spacing.
