Connected and Automated Vehicles– Is 6G the Last G?
Research on the next generation of cellular technology, called 6G , is ramping up rapidly all over the world. Now is the time to influence what should be in and what should be out under the 6G umbrella. The European Union (EU) has earmarked €900 million (∼US$974 million) for research and innovation for 6G spread over seven years (2021–2028), and the EU is expecting the industry … [Read more...] about Connected and Automated Vehicles– Is 6G the Last G?
Toward 6G Vehicle-to-Everything Sidelink: Nonorthogonal Multiple Access in the Autonomous Mode
The cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) sidelink technology, specified in the long-term evolution (LTE) and further improved in the 5G new radio (NR) standards to facilitate direct data exchange between vehicles, will play a crucial role in revolutionizing transportation systems. However, the demand for very high reliability and ultralow latency services especially … [Read more...] about Toward 6G Vehicle-to-Everything Sidelink: Nonorthogonal Multiple Access in the Autonomous Mode
