Autonomous car


An autonomous car, also known as an uncrewed vehicle, driverless car, self-driving car and robotic car, is an autonomous vehicle which is capable of fulfilling the main transportation capabilities of a traditional car by sensing its environment and navigating without human input. The implementation of autonomous cars could theoretically lead to many improvements in transportation, including a reduction in car accidents and obstacles successfully.

For this, V2X techniques may be used. Connected-vehicle systems use wireless technologies to communicate in real time from vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and from vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), and vice versa. The convergence of communication- and sensor-based technologies, therefore, could deliver better safety, mobility, and self- driving capability than either approach could deliver on its own.

The followings are the features which autonomous car should support and also IMT-2020 has to satisfy to provide autonomous car services on the network.


  • Dependency on Sensors: Although connected vehicle solutions can communicate with the external environment, sensor-based solutions will need to co-exist in order to cover situations that involve obstacles - for example, obstructions in the road or pedestrians- that would not be connected and communicating with the network.

  • Data Security: Numerous security threats will arise once personal mobility is dominated by self-driving vehicles. Unauthorized parties, hackers, or even terrorists could capture data, alter records, instigate attacks on systems, compromise driver privacy by tracking individual vehicles, or identify residences.

  • Enhanced massive vehicle type communications: A significant number of connected devices are expected to use IMT systems. In addition, as more and more things get connected, various services that utilize the connection capabilities of things will appear.

  • Ultra-reliable and low latency communications: Reliability and latency are the essentially required for the safe running of autonomous cars.
    1. Internet of things


A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies. From the perspective of technical standardization, the IoT can be viewed as a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies (ICTs). Physical things exist in the physical world and are capable of being sensed, actuated and connected. The examples of physical things include the surrounding environment, industrial robots, goods and electrical equipment. Virtual things exist in the information world and are capable of being stored, processed and accessed. The examples of virtual things include multimedia content and application software. Through the exploitation of identification, data capture, processing, and communication capabilities, the IoT makes full use of things to offer services to all kinds of applications, whilst ensuring that security and privacy requirements are fulfilled.

The followings are the features which IoT should support and also IMT-2020 has to satisfy to provide IoT services on the network.



  • High connection density: With regard to the IoT, anything can be interconnected with the global information and communication infrastructure.

  • Multiple heterogeneous access networks: The devices in the IoT are heterogeneous as based on different hardware platforms and networks. They can interact with other devices or service platforms through different networks

  • Autonomic networking: Autonomic networking (including self-management, self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing and self-protecting techniques and/or mechanisms) needs to be supported in the networking control functions of the IoT, in order to adapt to different application domains, different communication environments and large numbers and types of devices.

  • Security: In the IoT, every 'thing' is connected which results in significant security threats, such as threats towards confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of both data and services. A critical example of security requirements is the need to integrate different security policies and techniques related to the variety of devices and user networks in the IoT.

  • Manageability: Manageability needs to be supported in the IoT in order to ensure normal network operations. IoT applications usually work automatically without the participation of people, but their whole operation process should be manageable by the relevant parties.

  • Energy efficiency: Sensor needs long life time activities.

  • Networking capabilities: Providing relevant control functions of network connectivity, such as access and transport resource control functions, mobility management or authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA).

  • Transport capabilities: Focus on providing connectivity for the transport of IoT service and application specific data information, as well as the transport of IoT-related control and management information.

  • Local network topology management: Traffic and congestion management, such as the detection of network overflow conditions and the implementation of resource reservation for time-critical and/or life-critical data flows
  1. Performance targets for IMT-2020


The performance parameters for so-called 5G network are defined separately in related SDOs, research projects, and industry associations; the parameters are similar but the target values of the parameters show subtle differences with each other. ITU-R, among them, identified the following eight key capabilities and the targets for IMT-2020 in recommendation M.2083-0 , mostly from the radio access network points of view while they are still quite relevant to its network as well, which are subject to be changed according to future studies.

Table . IMT-2020 key capabilities in ITU-R



Parameters

Target

User experienced data rates

100 Mbps

Peak data rates

20 Gbps

Mobility

up to 500 km/h with acceptable QoS

Latency (air interface)

1 ms

Connection density

106 /km2

Network energy efficiency

100 times better than IMT-Advanced

Spectrum efficiency

3 times better IMT-Advanced

Area traffic capacity

10 Mbit/s/m2

All the other performance targets from ITU-R can be directly applied to the design of network architecture, but the target for the latency is set only for the air interface in M.2083-0. However, when we consider the key capabilities from other sources such as METIS 2020 project, the target for the end-to-end latency is expected to be around 5 ms ~ 10 ms depending on the service characteristics.
