PhD Forum: Design and Study of Protocols for NR V2X Networks

In the context of cooperative and automated driving, mmWave-based technologies will have a key role in meeting the requirements of present and future automotive applications, even though channels operating at such high frequencies are characterized by high variability, pathloss and sensitivity to blockage. In this paper we describe how we started to deal with these challenges creating MilliCar, a standard compliant, open-source software for the research community, while also listing the steps required to further advance the state of the art.
