By the 3GPP NR V2X Mode 2, vehicles first specify the cycles for radio resources (or say subchannels) they require and then reserve subchannels by themselves. While traveling on the road, vehicles may generate periodic and non-periodic data to support vehicular applications. Since vehicles can obtain subchannels periodically, we can observe that the reserved subchannels may be wasted if vehicles have no data or are not sufficient if vehicles are demanded to disseminate unexpected event packets from the application layer. In this work, we propose a resource reservation interval determination scheme to facilitate data transmissions. Additionally, we design a resource-sharing mechanism for vehicles to share their unused subchannels. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform other approaches in various performance metrics.

This study provides an assessment of the impact of various conditions in the atmosphere that would affect signal degradation and the quality of transmission based on the bit error rate and eye diagrams of received signals for increasing transmission ranges. The results presented here are the results of the performance analysis of the FSO system with respect to BER as it varies with distance, hence showing the vulnerability of PAM-4 signals due to heavy attenuation by poor weather conditions—mostly fog and rain—under which the selected regions fall. Eye diagrams are also used for signal integrity and quality check and, further on, to gather information on the system under test. This comparative analysis, therefore, brings to light the areas in which the system remains resilient and identifies challenging atmospheric conditions that severely affect transmission. These results provide valuable information on how an FSO system can be optimized under different weather environments, as well as set up strategies through which the reliability and performance of the system can be enhanced for a region with varying atmospheric conditions.
