Abstract:
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and Internet of Vehicles are complex multi-actor systems offering to vehicles capabilities to exchange data with other entities (vehicles, infrastructure, grid, pedestrians, etc.) The V2X services aim to improve the transport, safety and comfort on the roads and also to help autonomous driving. The 5G technology can provide a powerful support for V2X, in multi-tenant, multidomain, multi-operator and end-to-end contexts. Particularly, the 5G slicing technology is able to construct dedicated slices, to serve V2X needs. The complexity of the V2X systems and the multitude of visions led to proposal of many variants of V2X business models and ecosystems, comprising several cooperating actors. The business models are important, given that they essentially determines the requirements and architectures; for V2X systems and is still an open research topic. This work in progress attempts to analyze some relevant business models for 5G slicing and discuss how they can be adapted for rich V2X environment. The paper can help the reader to understand what are the possible stakeholders sets in the V2X complex environment, their interactions and to define the architecture followed by the design of a particular V2X system.
