Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control and Platooning at SDOs
draft-petrescu-its-cacc-sdo-00.txt
Abstract
This document describes the use-cases of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise
Control, and Platooning, as defined by several Standards Development
Organizations such as ETSI, IEEE 1609, SAE and 3GPP.
C-ACC and Platooning involve concepts of direct vehicle-to-vehicle,
and device-to-device communications, which are developped by 3GPP and
precursory by the METIS EU project. They are illustrated very
clearly in emergency settings such as FirstNet.
IP messages - instead of link-layer messages - are pertinent for
C-ACC and Platooning use-cases because applications for road safety
such as WAZE, iRezQ and Coyote (currently involving infrastructure)
are IP messages, and proved succesful in deployments. Applications
such as Sentinel are direct between vehicles but are not IP,
currently.

1. Introduction
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control and Platooning are two use-cases
described recently at particular Standards Development Organizations.
C-ACC describes the formation of chains of automobiles following each
other at constant speed, in an automatic manner. This is to offer
more comfort for human drivers on long journeys on straight roads.
Platooning is a concept related to larger vehicles following each
other. The goal in this case is not necessarily comfort, but the

Internet-Draft C-ACC and Platooning at SDOs March 2015
expected gains in terms of gas consumption: when large vehicles can
follow each other at small distance the air-drag is much lower,
directly influencing on gas consumption, tyre use, and more.
Both C-ACC and Platooning are relying on information exchange between
vehicles. These exchanges may happen in a direct manner (direct
vehicle to vehicle communications) or with assistance from a fixed
communication infrastructure (vehicle-to-infrastructure-to-vehicle
communications).
This document describes the C-ACC and Platooning use-cases as
described at ETSI ITS. These use-cases are widely accepted as
Vehicle-to-Vehicle applications. For this reason, we present the
perspectives on V2V from IEEE, SAE, ISO and LTE.
In emergency settings the concepts of direct vehicle-to-vehicle
communications are of paramount importance. FirstNet, an overarching
example described later in this document, covers V2V, V2I and V2I2V
communication needs, together with strong security requirements.
In the market, several systems for vehicular communications have
demonstrated a number of benefits in the context of vehicle-to-
vehicle communications. The Sentinel system is used between vehicles
to warn each other about approach; the WAZE application on
smartphones created a community where users influence others about
the route choice; the iRezQ and Coyote applications communicate
between vehicles, via infrastructure, about route risks.
In [I-D.petrescu-ipv6-over-80211p] the use of IPv6 over 802.11p is
described. This link layer is potentially used in direct vehicle-to-
vehicle communications. It is obviously not the only link layer
pertinent for V2V.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

5. SAE perspective on C-ACC and Platooning
6. 3GPP and EU project use of LTE Device-to-Device
6.1. METIS
METIS is co-funded by the European Commission as an Integrated
Project under the Seventh Framework Programme for research and
development (FP7).
METIS defines test cases and requirements of "Traffic safety and
efficiency", as depicted in [METIS-D1.1], which is intended for 5G in
2020 but may also be applicable for LTE and beyond.
The use cases include:
1. Dangerous situation that can be avoided by means of V2V
communications.
2. Dangerous situation with vulnerable road users (i.e. pedestrians,
cyclists,...) that can be avoided by means of V2D communications.
"D" can denote any cellular device that the vulnerable road user
may carry (e.g. smart phone, tablet, sensor tag).
3. Assistance services that can improve traffic efficiency by means
of V2X communications, e.g. traffic sign recognition and green
light assistance.
4. Platooning (or road trains) in an autonomous manner to increase
traffic flows and reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
5. Highly automated vehicles.
To support the above use cases, METIS works out the corresponding
network requirements, such as E2E latency should be within 5ms,
required data rates for various scenarios, service ranges in
highway/rural/urban scenarios, etc.
6.2. 3GPP
Proximity Service (ProSe) allows a UE to discover and communicate
with other UEs that are in proximity directly or with the network
assistance. This may also be called as Device-to-Device (D2D)
communication. ProSe is intended for purposes such as public
security, network offloading, etc [GPP-TR-22-803].
Petrescu, et al. Expires September 10, 2015 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft C-ACC and Platooning at SDOs March 2015
The ProSe Communication path could use E-UTRAN or WLAN. In the case
of WLAN, only ProSe-assisted WLAN direct communication (i.e. when
ProSe assists with connection establishment management and service
continuity) is considered [GPP-TS-22-278].
The work on ProSe is initiated in 3GPP Release 12. Some enhancements
are being added in Release 13, e.g. Restricted ProSe Discovery.
Some use cases are identified in [GPP-TR-22-803], but most of which
are intended for common mobile users, e.g. walking people, not for
vehicles moving at high speed, for example the latency in ProSe
communication may be a problem for V2X.
Although ProSe does not support V2X communication before Release 14,
but it has some very good characteristics which makes it a good
candidate for V2X besides DSRC. ProSe communication does not have to
go through the EPC, which will significantly reduce the latency.
ProSe also support group and broadcast communication by means of a
common communication path established between the UEs.
There are some efforts at 3GPP Release 14, trying to address V2X
communication. The efforts are proposed by experts in the industry,
and may be subject to change. These efforts include the following:
1. To address the V2X use cases in 3GPP. The use cases may have
been defined by other SDOs, e.g. ETSI ITS, 3GPP can reference to
them. Requirements for V2X communication should also be
considered, for example network delay, packet loss rate, etc.
[METIS-D1.1] already propose some requirements, but those are
intended for future mobile network, which may be too critical for
LTE.
2. To address V2X applications and messages. The messages may
include message defined in SAE J2735, ETSI Cooperative Awareness
Message (CAM) and ETSI Decentralized Environmental Notification
Message (DeNM). The messages defined by different SDOs might be
similar to each other.
3. Study of possibility to add enhancements to ProSe, and to make it
able to support and enhance DSRC.
4. Study of using existing LTE technologies for unicast/multicast/
broadcast communication.
The above are just some examples, not an exhaustive list.

7. FirstNet EMS use of LTE and IP in V2I2V
FirstNet is a corporation housed inside the US Department of
Commerce. It gets capitalization budget from, among other sources,
sale of spectrum by the US FCC. It gets operating budget from sale
of services to state emergency services entities.
The specific use-cases for FirstNet include vehicle-to-vehicle,
vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-infrastructure-to-vehicle
communications using in certain cases LTE and IP:
1. Emergency communications to vehicles from government entities
conveying, for example: weather warnings, road conditions,
evacuation orders. The government entities might include PSAPs
or mobile vehicles such as police cruisers.
2. Instrumented emergency services vehicles such as ambulances. An
example is the ability to telemeter casualty (patient) data from
sensors attached to the casualty to a hospital emergency room.
3. Emergency communications from vehicles' occupants to government
entities such as Public Safety Access Points (PSAPs, also known
as 911 operators in US).
The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council describes
FirstNet as an emergency communications system (largely viewed
through the prism of the familiar Land Mobile Radio systems most
emergency services use.) The cellular telephone industry views
FirstNet as supplementary to an existing commercial cellphone system
(e.g. reusing the same towers and backhaul). Perhaps a better view
of FirstNet is as an extension of the Internet to emergency services
vehicles (including foot-borne).
It is clear that FirstNet overlaps to a large extent to the concepts
that have been discussed in vehicle-to-vehicle communications for
other purposes.
FirstNet has not been clear about its communication technology
choices to date. But LTE has been discussed as the most likely layer
2 protocol. A segregated segment of spectrum in the 700MHz band has
been set aside by Congressional action for emergency services and
control of that spectrum has been passed to FirstNet. There appear
to be no new protocols, development of which is fostered by FirstNet.
Several Internet applications would need rework to handle high
availability, security and assured access needs of emergency
services.

8. ISO perspective on V2V
The International Standards Organization's Technical Committee 204
(ISO TC204, in short) has specified a communication architecture
known as the "ITS station reference communication architecture"
[ISO-21217]. This communication architecture covers all layers
(access technologies, network, transport, facilities and
applications) of a typical communications protocol stack. It is
designed to accommodate communications between ITS stations engaged
in ITS services. ITS stations can be deployed in vehicles of any
type, roadside infrastructure (traffic lights, variable message
signs, toll road gantries, etc.), urban infrastructure (parking
gates, bus stops, etc.) nomadic devices (smartphones, tablets) and
control centers (traffic control center, emergency call centers, data
centers and services centers). The ITS stations can be distributed
in several nodes (e.g. an in-vehicle gateway and a set of hosts
attached to the internal in-vehicle network). The ITS station
architecture is designed to support many kinds of wired and wireless
access technologies (vehicular WiFi 802.11p, urban WiFi
802.11b/g/n/ac/ad; cellular networks; satellite; infra-red, LiFi,
millimeter wave, etc.)
The ISO ITS station architecture can thus support both broadcast and
unicast types of communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure
communications (road infrastructure using e.g. WiFi, or cellular
infrastructure using e.g. 3G/4G) and, most notably, direct vehicle-
to-vehicle communications.
The architecture includes the possibility to communicate using IPv6
[ISO-21210] or non-IP (ISO FNTP, currently being harmonized with IEEE
WAVE).
9. Internet apps: WAZE, iRezQ, Coyote, Sentinel
Applications using the Internet have been developped in the
particular context of vehicular communications. These applications
are designed for parties situated in vehicles. Their profile is less
of client-server kind, but more of peer-to-peer kind (vehicle to
vehicle).
Some use vehicle-to-infrastructure-to-vehicle IP paths, whereas
others involve direct vehicle-to-vehicle paths (without
infrastructure).
These applications are described in more detail in draft-liu-its-
scenario-00.txt issued on March 9th, 2015, authored by Dapeng Liu.

10. Security Considerations
All government-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-government communications
require authenticity; there will be no exceptions.
Some, but not all, communications from government-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-government require confidentiality (some of these
requirements, such as medical data, have the force of law, many have
custom or respect as the requirements base).
These requirements pertain to the content.
