Abstract

Abstract: The main goal behind radio resource management (RRM), in any conventional wireless networks, is to efficiently utilize the available resources. Critical and safety communications have very stringent quality of service requirements on reliability and availability. Consequently, the efficient use of resources becomes more compelling when it deals with this type of application. In this context, cellular vehicle‐to‐everything (C‐V2X) communications, enabled by cellular device‐to‐device (D2D), have recently drawn much attention. This is due to their applicability to road safety and traffic efficiency applications, which require information exchange among road users and road‐side entities. This emerging technology, referred hereinafter as LTE‐V or C‐V2X, supports two different communication modes: 3 and 4. Both of the two modes enable direct vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V) communications via PC5 interface. However, they differ on how the radio resources are allocated. Several approaches and algorithms are proposed in the literature to address the resource allocation issue. In this paper, a state of the art of the radio resource allocation strategies was made for LTE‐V technology and a qualitative description was carried out of these different schemes. We proposed a classification of these strategies into different categories. This classification identified the different strengths and weaknesses of each proposal. Up to our knowledge, several surveys concerning resource allocation are published in the context of LTE but very few of them focuses on both RRM and vehicular networks.
