Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are described herein for dynamic PC5 communication adaptation. For example, a UE may receive, from a vehicle-to-everything control function (V2X CF) or a vehicle-to-everything application server (V2X AS), a V2X provisioning message that includes a first transmission profile and determine, based on the first transmission profile, a first range to configure PC5 communication of a plurality of UEs associated with the V2X platoon. When a number of UEs joining the V2X platoon exceeds a certain threshold, the UE may transmit, to the V2X CF or the V2X AS, a modification request message requesting a second transmission profile. The UE may receive, from the V2X CF or the V2X AS, a modification response message that includes the second transmission profile and determine, based on the second transmission profile, a second range to reconfigure the PC5 communication of the plurality of UEs associated with the V2X platoon.

Claims (26)

1. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving, from a vehicle to everything application server (V2X AS), a V2X provisioning message that includes a plurality of V2X group-related parameters indicating a role of the WTRU in a V2X group, a size of the V2X group and a V2X group identifier associated with the V2X group, wherein the V2X group comprises a plurality of WTRUs for group-based PC5 communication; and

transmitting the plurality of V2X group-related parameters to the plurality of WTRUs to enable the group-based PC5 communication, wherein a transmission range associated with the V2X group-related parameters is determined based on mapping information received from a V2X control function (V2X CF).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission range is determined based on pre-stored mapping information in the WTRU.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission range is a distance that a signal can reach within the V2X group or a distance between the plurality of WTRUs within the V2X group.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping information received from the V2X CF includes a range mapping table specifying range values corresponding to a required coverage.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping information is received on a condition that the WTRU is a leader in the V2X group.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping information is provisioned in policy and parameters configuration information from the V2X CF.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the role of the WTRU in the V2X group is a leader or a follower.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the V2X group is a maximum number of allowed WTRUs in the V2X group.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of V2X group-related parameters further include a maximum size of a WTRU, an arrangement of the V2X group and a type of required communication between WTRUs in the V2X group.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the V2X group identifier is converted to a layer 2 identifier set to the V2X group for the group-based PC5 communication.

11. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor;

a receiver; and

a transmitter, the processor and the receiver configured to receive, from a vehicle to everything application server (V2X AS), a V2X provisioning message that includes a plurality of V2X group-related parameters indicating a role of the WTRU in a V2X group, a size of the V2X group and a V2X group identifier associated with the V2X group, wherein the V2X group comprises a plurality of WTRUs for group-based PC5 communication; and

the processor and the transmitter configured to transmit the plurality of V2X group-related parameters to the plurality of WTRUs to enable the group-based PC5 communication, wherein a transmission range associated with the V2X group-related parameters is determined based on mapping information received from a V2X control function (V2X CF).

12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the transmission range is determined based on pre-stored mapping information in the WTRU.

13. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the transmission range is a distance that a signal can reach within the V2X group or a distance between the plurality of WTRUs within the V2X group.

14. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the mapping information received from the V2X CF includes a range mapping table specifying range values corresponding to a required coverage.

15. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the mapping information is received on a condition that the WTRU is a leader in the V2X group.

16. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the mapping information is provisioned in policy and parameters configuration information from the V2X CF.

17. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the role of the WTRU in the V2X group is a leader or a follower.

18. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the size of the V2X group is a maximum number of allowed WTRUs in the V2X group.

19. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein a plurality of V2X group-related parameters further include a maximum size of a WTRU, an arrangement of the V2X group and a type of required communication between WTRUs in the V2X group.

20. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the V2X group identifier is converted to a layer 2 identifier set to the V2X group for the group-based PC5 communication.
