A Flexible Numerology Configuration for Efficient Resource Allocation in 3GPP V2X 5G New Radio

Abstract

Low latency and high-reliability communications for applications' flows is one of the main 5G cellular network objective, which is especially relevant for connected autonomous vehicles. However, efficient wireless resource allocation is a complex. To address this problem in this paper, we propose to adapt the physical (PHY) layer numerology configuration by fine-tuning it with Adaptive PHY Layer Configuration (APC) algorithm in aim to maximize the Effective Transmitted Packet (ETP). Besides, we propose an adaptive scheme to maximize the expected packet serving rate while avoiding the starvation phenomenon of low priority Logical Channels (LC). Based on extensive simulations, results show that our proposal achieves good performance in terms of ETP maximization and starvation minimization of low priority LCs.
