ETSI C-ITS

ETSI C-ITS MAC/PHY • Updated version of IEEE 802. 11 -2012 introduced new parameter dot 11 OCBActivated, allowing to turn on OCB mode for WNIC. • OCB - outside the context of a basic service set (BSS). • WNIC – Wireless Network Interface Controller. • The side effect of this are that the BSS authentication and association procedures are removed because this is a time consuming process and in a vehicular environment where nodes are highly mobile and transactions may not be completed until the nodes are out of each other's radio ranges. • The communication outside of a BSS can be thought of as ad hoc communications and should not be confused with the independent BSS network topology supported in IEEE 802. 112012.

ETSI C-ITS MAC/PHY (cont. ) • To distinguish between communication within a BSS and outside of a BSS the network identification (basic service set id, BSSID) is set to a wildcard in every frame transmitted in an 802. 11 p communications. • In other words 802. 11 p is a 802. 11 a with no BSSID feature, with narrower channels, slower data rate but more robust encoding. • MAC – No Beacons and other management frames, No exponential back-off. This features makes MAC/PHY suitable for in ad-hoc network applications, e. g. as VANET (Vehicular ad hoc network) DSRC – Direct Short Range Communication

Frequency Bands

Geonetworking • Network Level in OSI (IP by analogy) • Four communication scenarios: • Point-to-Point • Point-to-Multipoint • Geo. Anycast • Geo. Broadcast

BTP • Basic Transport Protocol • Transportation Level in OSI model (UDP by analogy).

CAM • Cooperative Awareness Message • Application Level in OSI model (HTTP , FTP by analogy).

DENM • Decentralized Environmental Notification Message • Application Level in OSI model (HTTP , FTP by analogy).

DCC • Decentralized Congestion Control • DCC is a cross layer function, i. e. it has functions located on several layers of the ITS station reference architecture.

Main Thesis Motivation

Main Thesis Motivation There are self driving cars already exists and participating in traffic. However they are individual units. There is certain risk for mismatch data exploit for active sensor, like LIDAR or RADAR if many self-driving cars will appear in the same area. • Using V 2 V it will be possible to efficiently control channels for such active sensors. Still the vast of the majority of vehicles doesn’t has connecting capability (there is no way to transmit CAM messages about self-position), by enabling fully-equipped vehicles (with V 2 V unit and Environmental Perception Capabilities) exchange environmental data (what it observes) it is possible to eliminate such problem.

Main Thesis Motivation (cont. ) Detection and data propagation about VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users) such as cyclist, pedestrian … Better representation of road scene , which can be used for optimized path planning and emergency scenarios execution.
