This white paper provides a technology deep dive into the architecture, protocols and physical layer of 5G NR V2X communications in line with 3GPP Release 16. The sidelink direct communication introduced with Release 16 provides a high degree of flexibility which enables future possibilities. NR V2X introduces three communications modes: broadcast, multicast and unicast, defines sophisticated physical channel and reference signal structures that cope with various automotive communications demands, and includes security aspects.

Download this white paper to learn the details of how NR V2X cooperates and interoperates with legacy V2X communications like LTE-V2X and extends its capabilities.
