Performance analysis of a novel MAC protocol in mmWave V2X network for the safety application in Outdoor Parking Lot

The outdoor parking lot safety for pedestrians assumes a greater importance when the vehicle is reverse driving. With time, the number of vehicles is exponentially increasing and huge multi-level smart parking lot are being developed. The conventional sub-6 GHz V2X systems is getting overwhelmed due to increasing number of users which it has to serve simultaneously. The obvious solution to this problem is mmWave V2X communication system which provides the QoS required for any safety application. In this work, the performance of a novel MAC protocol is evaluated for the safety application of the pedestrians in an outdoor parking lot. This MAC protocol can be used as a primary (V2I) or as a backup (when primary safety communication system is V2V or V2P).
