Dynamic resource scheduling for real-time group broadcasting in 6G cellular vehicular networks

Abstract

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) messaging is an indispensable component of connected autonomous vehicle systems.The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is designed to support V2V communication without any infrastructure using sensing-based Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) in order to avoid resource collisions for Cooperative Awareness Messages (CAMs) transmission. However, the legacy system suffers from significant collisions in a traffic congestion environment and resource waste in light traffic conditions. To address these problems, in this paper we propose a novel dynamic resource scheduling algorithm for real-time group broadcasting, inspired by the Lyapunov optimization framework, where the optimization objective is to minimize time-average failure probability subject to queue stability. Through extensive simulations, we show that the proposed scheduling algorithm outperforms the standard in both traffic jams and leisurely road environments.
