Abstract

The present paper provides a technical overview about the most relevant vehicular communication technologies including IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11bd, LTEV2X and NRV2X. IEEE 802.11p is the most matured one Wi-Fi based technology, and its successor, the IEEE 802.11bd is expected to be released in 2021. As CV2X (Cellular Vehicle to Everything) technologies, LTEV2X (Long Term Evolution V2X) and NRV2X (New Radio V2X) are discussed in this paper. The former one is already available, while the latter one’s final specification will be finalized in 2020 by the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project). These four technologies also motivate the already started transformation of vehicle industry by enabling basic safety features and more efficient traffic management, as well as cooperative maneuver execution towards high-level automated driving. The comparison of these technologies is essential to clarify their benefits completely. These technologies are considered as competitors, however, it is expected that they will coexist in the same geographical region. Thus, they will share on the same unlicensed frequency bands in 5.9 GHz domain. Therefore, different coexistence scenarios are also discussed in the paper to see how their advantages could be utilized.
