Poster Abstract: SEE-V2X: Empirical Evaluation of C-V2X Direct Communication in Real-World Scenarios

Cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology has been increasingly adopted by the research community, automotive industry, and government agencies as the next key technology to enhance transportation safety and efficiency. Recent years have also witnessed emerging C-V2X-based applications, connecting sensors on vehicle (V2V), from infrastructure (V2I), and carried by pedestrians (V2P), to enable novel capabilities such as cooperative perception, sustainable transportation, and remote operations. While researchers have made successful strides in simulating these promising applications, the disconnect with real-world C-V2X performance often renders ungrounded assumptions, resulting in huge barriers towards deployment. In this poster, we conduct an application driven C-V2X network measurement using commercial off-the-shelf standard compliant C-V2X radios. Emulating the traffic patterns of popular C-V2X applications, we investigate the gap between the demand and reality.
