A Survey on Radio Resource Allocation for V2X Communication

Thanks to the deployment of new techniques to support high data rate, high reliability, and QoS provision, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) can be applied for diverse applications. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is one of the evolving applications for LTE technology to improve traffic safety, to minimize congestion, and to ensure comfortable driving which requires stringent reliability and latency requirements. As mentioned in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), LTE-based Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is an enabler for V2X services to meet these requirements. Therefore, radio resource management (RRM) is important to efficiently allocate resources to V2X communications. In this paper, we present the V2X communications, their requirements and services, the V2X-based LTE-D2D communication modes, and the existing resource allocation algorithms for V2X communications. Moreover, we classify the existing resource allocation algorithms proposed in the literature and we compare them according to selected criteria.
