Adaptive transmission method and apparatus for improving vehicular communication performance
Disclosed is an adaptive transmission method for a vehicular communication system, that is, a method of randomly allocating resources in a time domain and a frequency domain to perform vehicular communication in a Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-based vehicle to everything (V2X) system and determining whether to transmit messages according to a transmission probability such that it is possible to improve cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of packet reception ratios (PRRs) and average PRRs by decreasing interference between vehicles.
1. An adaptive transmission method for improving vehicular communication performance in a vehicle to everything (V2X) system based on a mobile communication network, which is performed by a vehicle terminal, the adaptive transmission method comprising:
receiving allocated resources;
setting a message transmission probability; and
transmitting a message to a partner terminal by using the allocated resources according to the set transmission probability,
wherein the receiving comprises receiving resources randomly allocated in units of a subchannel in a frequency domain and receiving resources randomly allocated in units of a subframe in a time domain in consideration of the total number of resource blocks, the number of resource bocks allocated upon data transmission, the number of subframes depending on a message size, and a data generation period,
wherein the setting is performed in consideration of a speed of the vehicle terminal, and
wherein the transmitting is performed in consideration of the speed of the vehicle terminal and the number of transmissions.
2. The adaptive transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicular communication performance is determined in consideration of packet reception ratios (PRRs).
3. The adaptive transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the partner terminal is any one of another vehicle terminal, a pedestrian terminal, and a road side unit (RSU).
4. The adaptive transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the message is generated according to a traffic model, and the traffic model is a periodic traffic model or an event-trigger traffic model.
5. The adaptive transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicular communication performance is affected by a combination of one or more of the resources used to transmit the message, the transmission probability, the speed of the vehicle terminal, or the number of transmissions.
6. An adaptive transmission apparatus for improving vehicular communication performance based on a mobile communication network having a base station or a partner terminal comprising:
a communication unit configured to transmit or receive data to or from the base station or the partner terminal;
a storage unit configured to store a program; and
a control unit connected with the communication unit and the storage unit, and configured to, by executing the program stored in the storage unit,
generate a message according to a traffic model,
request that the base station allocate resources through the communication unit, and
control transmission of the generated message by using the allocated resources according to a preset transmission probability,
wherein the resources are randomly allocated in units of a subchannel in a frequency domain and randomly allocated in units of a subframe in a time domain in consideration of the total number of resource blocks, the number of resource bocks allocated upon data transmission, the number of subframes depending on a message size, and a data generation period, and
wherein the transmission probability is set in consideration of a speed of a vehicle terminal, and set in consideration of the speed of the vehicle terminal and the number of transmissions upon message transmission.
