Abstract:
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) based on V2X and their services have been intensively studied and developed in the last decade. The V2X supports a large range of applications, such as safety oriented, vehicular traffic optimization, autonomous driving, infotainment and auxiliary operations in vehicular area. Various stakeholders/actors are playing roles in such a complex system, e.g., regulators, authorities, service or network providers, operators, manufacturers, tenants and end users. Therefore, to specify and design a specific V2X/IoV system, one should first identify the ecosystem actors and then derive in a structured way the system requirements, while harmonizing needs coming from different entities. The 5G slicing technology is seen as a strong candidate to support V2X communications, in multi-tenant, multi-domain, multioperator and end-to-end contexts. The 5G slicing allows construction of dedicated slices, to meet particular V2X requirements. Given the large variety of environments and actors involved in a planned V2X system, the identification of the system requirements is a complex process that could benefit from a structured approach. This paper is an extension of the work presented at IARIA Mobility 2020 Conference. It contributes to develop a methodology to perform a top-down systematic identification of requirements for a V2X system supported by 5G dedicated slices. Examples from a recent research project in 5G area are given
