The Fifth Generation (5G) cellular network can be considered the way to the ubiquitous Internet and pervasive paradigm.The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) uses the network infrastructure to allow cars to be connected to new radio technologies, and can be supported by 5G networks. In this way, the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) integration needs 5G connections unavoidably. This paper presents a 5G V2X ecosystem to provide IoV. The proposed ecosystem is based on the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) concept. Considering vehicles as entertainment consumer points, the network infrastructure must be huge enough to guarantee delivery and quality. For this purpose, this paper evaluates vehicular Internet-based video services traffic and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications in urban and rural scenarios. Simulations were performed through the Network Simulator ns-3, employing millimeter Wave (mmWave) communications. Three metrics, data transfer rate, transmission delay, and Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), were analyzed and compared for rural and urban IoV scenarios. The results have shown satisfactory performance to the IoV communications requirements when adopting the 5G network with V2X communications.

“…The architecture of this new eco-system has major requirements and creates great challenges such as the management of the unprecedented growth of traffic, resource utilization optimization, quality of service and experience. 5G networks are especially sensitive to delay and latency since it supports real-time applications with tremendous data volumes [104,105] which emphasises the importance of load-balancing as a user-centric networking technique.…”

Recent Research have shown that software-defined networking (SDN) drastically improves network resource utilization, manages today's complex networks and reduces cost. The rapid development of technology and the explosively growing information services as well as the increasing number of users, have made the load distribution a huge issue that could eventually impact the network's performance and its quality of service. The need for SDN comes from the load-balancing problematic which could reduce the availability of network applications, resource utilization and QoS indicators such as latency, throughput and response time. In this paper, we analyze the impact of software-defined networks design and the architecture of its control plane on the load-balancing methods efficiency. We present a detailed analysis of some load-balancing algorithms and metrics in centralized and distributed SDN architectures. We also introduce some of the load-balancing mechanisms applied in 5G networks in particular.

“…The potential of the network slicing concept for the vehicular environment and the need for dedicated V2X slicing has been early unveiled in [6] and then further elaborated in [25], where a set of guidelines for the design of a network slicing V2X framework are dissected. Embracing the vision of V2X tailored slicing, in [4], 3GPP mentions the usage of customized parameters identifying a slice for the automotive industry.…”

“…The three layers encompass components that are aligned with the 5G service-based architecture and its key enablers, i.e., SDN, MEC, and NFV. Within the conceived general design of the three-layer architecture, we customize specific functionalities and procedures to support V2X slicing, based on the guidelines we identified in [25], and summarize in Table 1.…”

The demanding requirements of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) applications, such as ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth, highly-reliable communication, intensive computation and near-real time data processing, raise outstanding challenges and opportunities for fifth generation (5G) systems. By allowing an operator to flexibly provide dedicated logical networks with (virtualized) functionalities over a common physical infrastructure, network slicing candidates itself as a prominent solution to support V2X over upcoming programmable and softwarized 5G systems in a business-agile manner. In this paper, a network slicing framework is proposed along with relevant building blocks and mechanisms to support V2X applications by flexibly orchestrating multi-access and edge-dominated 5G network infrastructures, especially with reference to roaming scenarios. Proof of concept experiments using the Mininet emulator showcase the viability and potential benefits of the proposed framework for cooperative driving use cases.
