Foreseeing Semi-Persistent Scheduling in Mode-4 for 5G enhanced V2X communication

One of the most dominant applications of Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication of 5G-NR is V2X communication. For such latency-critical V2X communication, the distributed resource allocation using Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) algorithm designed for out-of-coverage (Mode-4) scenario leads to a high collision probability and requires profuse sensing processes. Therefore, a need for more efficient distributed resource allocation scheme is compelled. In this paper, we investigate the 3GPP proposed SPS scheduling algorithm for its performance and formulate the problem under partial sensing systems. Furthermore, we propose a Foreseeing Semi-Persistent Scheduling (F-SPS) algorithm as an enhancement to the existing methodology, and conclusively, simulations are presented to illustrate the improved performance of the proposed F-SPS scheme in terms of reduced collision probability with an optimised number of sensing processes.
