      <t>
	This document describes the use-cases of Cooperative Adaptive
	Cruise Control, and Platooning, as defined by several
	Standards Development Organizations such as ETSI, IEEE 1609,
	SAE and 3GPP.
      </t>
      <t>
	C-ACC and Platooning involve concepts of direct
	vehicle-to-vehicle, and device-to-device communications, which
	are developped by 3GPP and precursory by the METIS EU project.
	They are illustrated very clearly in emergency settings such
	as FirstNet.
      </t>
      <t>
	IP messages - instead of link-layer messages - are pertinent
	for C-ACC and Platooning use-cases because applications for
	road safety such as WAZE, iRezQ and Coyote (currently
	involving infrastructure) are IP messages, and proved
	succesful in deployments.  Applications such as Sentinel are
	direct between vehicles but are not IP, currently.

    <section title="Introduction">
	<t>
	  Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control and Platooning are two
	  use-cases described recently at particular Standards
	  Development Organizations.  C-ACC describes the formation of
	  chains of automobiles following each other at constant
	  speed, in an automatic manner.  This is to offer more
	  comfort for human drivers on long journeys on straight
	  roads.

	  <!-- Simple 'cruise control' was the automation of speed -->
	  <!-- maintenance at a single automobile (increase torque if -->
	  <!-- uphill, smoothly brake downhill, such as to maintain -->
	  <!-- constant speed).  C-ACC aims at same level of automation but -->
	  <!-- in a cooperative manner between several vehicles: while in -->
	  <!-- CC mode, when a vehicle in front slowly decelerates, this -->
	  <!-- vehicle will also do, such as to maintain distance, and -->
	  <!-- relieve driver from taking control over. -->
	</t>
	<t>
	  Platooning is a concept related to larger vehicles following
	  each other.  The goal in this case is not necessarily
	  comfort, but the expected gains in terms of gas consumption:
	  when large vehicles can follow each other at small distance
	  the air-drag is much lower, directly influencing on gas
	  consumption, tyre use, and more.
	</t>

	<t>
	  Both C-ACC and Platooning are relying on information
	  exchange between vehicles.  These exchanges may happen in a
	  direct manner (direct vehicle to vehicle communications) or
	  with assistance from a fixed communication infrastructure
	  (vehicle-to-infrastructure-to-vehicle communications).
	</t>

	<t>
	  This document describes the C-ACC and Platooning use-cases
	  as described at ETSI ITS.  These use-cases are widely
	  accepted as Vehicle-to-Vehicle applications.  For this
	  reason, we present the perspectives on V2V from IEEE, SAE,
	  ISO and LTE.
	</t>

	<t>
	  In emergency settings the concepts of direct
	  vehicle-to-vehicle communications are of paramount
	  importance.  FirstNet, an overarching example described
	  later in this document, covers V2V, V2I and V2I2V
	  communication needs, together with strong security
	  requirements.
	</t>

	<t>
	  In the market, several systems for vehicular communications
	  have demonstrated a number of benefits in the context of
	  vehicle-to-vehicle communications.  The Sentinel system is
	  used between vehicles to warn each other about approach; the
	  WAZE application on smartphones created a community where
	  users influence others about the route choice; the iRezQ and
	  Coyote applications communicate between vehicles, via
	  infrastructure, about route risks.

	  In <xref target="I-D.petrescu-ipv6-over-80211p"/> the use of
	  IPv6 over 802.11p is described.  This link layer is
	  potentially used in direct vehicle-to-vehicle
	  communications.  It is obviously not the only link layer
	  pertinent for V2V.

        <t>
	  Proximity Service (ProSe) allows a UE to discover and
	  communicate with other UEs that are in proximity directly or
	  with the network assistance. This may also be called as
	  Device-to-Device (D2D) communication. ProSe is intended for
	  purposes such as public security, network offloading, etc
	  <xref target="GPP-TR-22-803"/>.
	</t>

        <t>
	  The ProSe Communication path could use E-UTRAN or WLAN.
	  In the case of WLAN, only ProSe-assisted WLAN direct
	  communication (i.e. when ProSe assists with connection
	  establishment management and service continuity) is
	  considered <xref target="GPP-TS-22-278"/>.
	</t>

        <t>
	  The work on ProSe is initiated in 3GPP Release 12. Some
	  enhancements are being added in Release 13,
	  e.g. Restricted ProSe Discovery. Some use cases are
	  identified in <xref target="GPP-TR-22-803"/>, but most of
	  which are intended for common mobile users, e.g. walking
	  people, not for vehicles moving at high speed, for example
	  the latency in ProSe communication may be a problem for
	  V2X.
	</t>

        <t>
	  Although ProSe does not support V2X communication before
	  Release 14, but it has some very good characteristics
	  which makes it a good candidate for V2X besides
	  DSRC. ProSe communication does not have to go through the
	  EPC, which will significantly reduce the latency. ProSe
	  also support group and broadcast communication by means of
	  a common communication path established between the UEs.
	</t>

        <t>
	  There are some efforts at 3GPP Release 14, trying to
	  address V2X communication. The efforts are proposed by
	  experts in the industry, and may be subject to
	  change. These efforts include the following:

	  <list style='numbers'>
            <t>
	      To address the V2X use cases in 3GPP. The use cases may
	      have been defined by other SDOs, e.g. ETSI ITS, 3GPP can
	      reference to them. Requirements for V2X communication
	      should also be considered, for example network delay,
	      packet loss rate, etc. <xref target="METIS-D1.1"/>
	      already propose some requirements, but those are
	      intended for future mobile network, which may be too
	      critical for LTE.
	    </t>

            <t>
	      To address V2X applications and messages. The messages
	      may include message defined in SAE J2735, ETSI
	      Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) and ETSI
	      Decentralized Environmental Notification Message (DeNM).
	      The messages defined by different SDOs might be similar
	      to each other.
	    </t>

            <t>
	      Study of possibility to add enhancements to ProSe, and
	      to make it able to support and enhance DSRC.
	    </t>

            <t>
	      Study of using existing LTE technologies for
	      unicast/multicast/broadcast communication.
	    </t>
	  </list>
	</t>

        <t>
	  The above are just some examples, not an exhaustive list.
	</t>

	<t>
	  <xref target="GPP-TR-22-885"/> studies many V2X services
	  using LTE.  These services include V2V communication
	  (e.g. Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control, Forwarding
	  Collision Warning, etc), V2I/V2N communication (e.g. Road
	  Safety Services) and vehicle to pedestrian
	  communication. The services' pre-condition, service flow,
	  post-condition, including some network communication
	  requirements, such as delay, messages frequency and message
	  size, are ayalyzed.
	</t>

	<t>
	  In <xref target="GPP-TR-22-885"/>, Cooperative Adaptive
	  Cruise Control (CACC) allows a vehicle to join a group of
	  CACC vehicles, and the benefits are to improve road
	  congestion and fuel efficiency. Member vehicles of CACC
	  group should periodically broadcast messages including the
	  CACC group information, such as speed and gap policies, etc.
	  If a vehicle outside the group wants to join, it should send
	  a request to the group.  If a member of the CACC group
	  accepts the request, it should send a confirm message and
	  provide necessary distance gap; and members of the group
	  will update their group information. When a Member wants to
	  leave the CACC group, it should broadcast a goodbye message,
	  and the driver assumes control of the vehicle.

      <section title="METIS">
        <t>
	  METIS is co-funded by the European Commission as an
	  Integrated Project under the Seventh Framework Programme for
	  research and development (FP7).
	</t>

        <t>
	  METIS defines test cases and requirements of "Traffic
	  safety and efficiency", as depicted in <xref
	  target="METIS-D1.1"/>, which is intended for 5G in 2020
	  but may also be applicable for LTE and beyond.
	</t>

        <t>
	  The use cases include:
	  <list style='numbers'>
	    <t>
	      Dangerous situation that can be avoided by means of V2V
	      communications.
	    </t>	   
            <t>
	      Dangerous situation with vulnerable road users
	      (i.e. pedestrians, cyclists,...) that can be avoided by
	      means of V2D communications. "D" can denote any cellular
	      device that the vulnerable road user may carry
	      (e.g. smart phone, tablet, sensor tag).
	    </t>
            <t>
	      Assistance services that can improve traffic efficiency
	      by means of V2X communications, e.g. traffic sign
	      recognition and green light assistance.

	    <t>
	      Platooning (or road trains) in an autonomous manner to
	      increase traffic flows and reduce fuel consumption and
	      emissions.
	    </t>
            <t>
	      Highly automated vehicles.
	    </t>
	  </list>	
	</t>

        <t>
	  To support the above use cases, METIS works out the
	  corresponding network requirements, such as E2E latency
	  should be within 5ms, required data rates for various
	  scenarios, service ranges in highway/rural/urban
	  scenarios, etc.

    <section anchor="iso" title="ISO perspective on V2V">
      <t>
	The International Standards Organization's Technical Committee
	204 (ISO TC204, in short) has specified a communication
	architecture known as the "ITS station reference communication
	architecture" <xref target='ISO-21217'/>.  This communication
	architecture covers all layers (access technologies, network,
	transport, facilities and applications) of a typical
	communications protocol stack.  It is designed to accommodate
	communications between ITS stations engaged in ITS services.
	ITS stations can be deployed in vehicles of any type, roadside
	infrastructure (traffic lights, variable message signs, toll
	road gantries, etc.), urban infrastructure (parking gates, bus
	stops, etc.)  nomadic devices (smartphones, tablets) and
	control centers (traffic control center, emergency call
	centers, data centers and services centers).  The ITS stations
	can be distributed in several nodes (e.g. an in-vehicle
	gateway and a set of hosts attached to the internal in-vehicle
	network).  The ITS station architecture is designed to support
	many kinds of wired and wireless access technologies
	(vehicular WiFi 802.11p, urban WiFi 802.11b/g/n/ac/ad;
	cellular networks; satellite; infra-red, LiFi, millimeter
	wave, etc.)
      </t>
      <t>
	The ISO ITS station architecture can thus support both
	broadcast and unicast types of communication,
	vehicle-to-infrastructure communications (road infrastructure
	using e.g. WiFi, or cellular infrastructure using e.g. 3G/4G)
	and, most notably, direct vehicle-to-vehicle communications.
      </t>
      <t>
	The architecture includes the possibility to communicate using
	IPv6 <xref target='ISO-21210'/> or non-IP (ISO FNTP, currently
	being harmonized with IEEE WAVE).
      </t>
    </section>

    <section anchor="firstnet" title="FirstNet EMS use of LTE and IP
				      in V2I2V">
      <t>
	FirstNet is a corporation housed inside the US Department of
	Commerce.  It gets capitalization budget from, among other
	sources, sale of spectrum by the US FCC.  It gets operating
	budget from sale of services to state emergency services
	entities.
      </t>

      <t>
	The specific use-cases for FirstNet include
	vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and
	vehicle-to-infrastructure-to-vehicle communications using in
	certain cases LTE and IP:
	<list style='numbers'>
	  <t>
	    Emergency communications to vehicles from government
	    entities conveying, for example: weather warnings, road
	    conditions, evacuation orders.  The government entities
	    might include PSAPs or mobile vehicles such as police
	    cruisers.
	  </t>
          <t>
	    Instrumented emergency services vehicles such as
	    ambulances.  An example is the ability to telemeter
	    casualty (patient) data from sensors attached to the
	    casualty to a hospital emergency room.
	  </t>
	  <t>
	    Emergency communications from vehicles' occupants to
	    government entities such as Public Safety Access Points
	    (PSAPs, also known as 911 operators in US).
	  </t>
	</list>
      </t>

      <t>
	The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council
	describes FirstNet as an emergency communications system
	(largely viewed through the prism of the familiar Land Mobile
	Radio systems most emergency services use.)  The cellular
	telephone industry views FirstNet as supplementary to an
	existing commercial cellphone system (e.g. reusing the same
	towers and backhaul).  Perhaps a better view of FirstNet is as
	an extension of the Internet to emergency services vehicles
	(including foot-borne).
      </t>

      <t>
	It is clear that FirstNet overlaps to a large extent to the
	concepts that have been discussed in vehicle-to-vehicle
	communications for other purposes.
      </t>

      <t>
	FirstNet has not been clear about its communication technology
	choices to date.  But LTE has been discussed as the most
	likely layer 2 protocol.  A segregated segment of spectrum in
	the 700MHz band has been set aside by Congressional action for
	emergency services and control of that spectrum has been
	passed to FirstNet.  There appear to be no new protocols,
	development of which is fostered by FirstNet.  Several
	Internet applications would need rework to handle high
	availability, security and assured access needs of emergency
	services.

    <section anchor="apps" title="Internet apps: WAZE, iRezQ, Coyote, Sentinel">
      <t>
	Applications using the Internet have been developped in the
