Towards Dynamic V2X Infrastructure: Joint Deployment and Optimization of 6DMA-Enabled RSUs

The evolution towards 6G is set to transform Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) networks by introducing advanced technologies such as Six-Dimensional Movable Antenna (6DMA). This technology endows Roadside Units (RSUs) with dynamic beam-steering capabilities, enabling adaptive coverage. However, traditional RSU deployment strategies, optimized for static coverage, are fundamentally mismatched with these new dynamic capabilities, leading to a critical deployment-optimization mismatch. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing <b>DyDO</b>, a novel <b>Dy</b>namic <b>D</b>eployment and <b>O</b>ptimization framework for the utilization of 6DMA-RSUs. Our framework strategically decouples the problem into two modules operating on distinct timescales. On a slow timescale, an offline deployment module analyzes long-term historical traffic data to identify optimal RSU locations. This is guided by a newly proposed metric, the Dynamic Potential Score (DPS), which quantifies a location's intrinsic value for dynamic adaptation by integrating spatial concentration, temporal volatility, and traffic magnitude. On a fast timescale, an online control module employs an efficient Sequential Angular Search (SAS) algorithm to perform real-time, adaptive beam steering based on immediate traffic patterns. Extensive experiments on a large-scale, real-world trajectory dataset demonstrate that <b>DyDO</b> outperforms conventional static deployment methodologies. This work highlights the necessity of dynamic-aware deployment to fully unlock the potential of 6DMA in future V2X systems.

Abstract

The evolution towards 6G is set to transform Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) networks by introducing advanced technologies such as Six-Dimensional Movable Antenna (6DMA). This technology endows Roadside Units (RSUs) with dynamic beam-steering capabilities, enabling adaptive coverage. However, traditional RSU deployment strategies, optimized for static coverage, are fundamentally mismatched with these new dynamic capabilities, leading to a critical deployment-optimization mismatch. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing <b>DyDO</b>, a novel <b>Dy</b>namic <b>D</b>eployment and <b>O</b>ptimization framework for the utilization of 6DMA-RSUs. Our framework strategically decouples the problem into two modules operating on distinct timescales. On a slow timescale, an offline deployment module analyzes long-term historical traffic data to identify optimal RSU locations. This is guided by a newly proposed metric, the Dynamic Potential Score (DPS), which quantifies a location's intrinsic value for dynamic adaptation by integrating spatial concentration, temporal volatility, and traffic magnitude. On a fast timescale, an online control module employs an efficient Sequential Angular Search (SAS) algorithm to perform real-time, adaptive beam steering based on immediate traffic patterns. Extensive experiments on a large-scale, real-world trajectory dataset demonstrate that <b>DyDO</b> outperforms conventional static deployment methodologies. This work highlights the necessity of dynamic-aware deployment to fully unlock the potential of 6DMA in future V2X systems.
