Millimeter Wave V2X Communications: Use Cases and Design Considerations of Beam Management
Abstract
Sharing perception sensor information (e.g., camera, radar, and LIDAR) among vehicles in proximity using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications provides non-line-of-sight (NLOS) information about the surrounding environment, improving the safety and traffic efficiency of cooperative automated driving. However, such application requires high data rates on the order of 10s to 100s of Mbps (or 1 Gbps), which cannot be supported by the existing V2X communication technologies such as IEEE 802.11p-based dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) in 5.9 GHz band. Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication has the potential to meet the high data rate demand thanks to its wide bandwidth. In this paper, we introduce potential use cases of mmWave V2X communications. Also, we discuss technical challenges and design considerations for mmWave V2X beam management. Particularly, we elaborate on how we can utilize low-frequency communication (e.g., 5.9 GHz DSRC), onboard sensors mounted at vehicles and infrastructures, and DSRC messages (e.g., vehicle position, speed, acceleration, and path prediction) to facilitate mmWave V2X beam management.

mmWave bands are ideal for high-bandwidth, short-range V2X services such as cooperative perception, high-definition map exchange, and high-speed mobile broadband internet access.
“Consequently, mmWave bands become ideal for highbandwidth, short-range V2X services, such as cooperative perception, high-definition map exchange, and high-speed mobile broadband internet access [25].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
