As the demand for VANETs data transmission continues to increase, the defined cellular band becomes a bottleneck to meet the demands for all vehicle-to-everything (V2X) users. To deal with this problem, an efficient cluster based resource management scheme and its performance analysis for V2X networks is suggested to discover exceptional needs for various types of VANETs connections, namely vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) connections, and to enhance the efficiency of cellular user with respect to sum ratio, packet received ratio and average throughput for V2I connections whereas maintaining constancy for each V2V link. To deal with the fast channel deviations because of high mobility, we developed an efficient cluster based resource management technique to attain spectrum sharing and power control that relies on large scale fading. In addition, we have also examined the resource management problem of VANETs and V2X users to minimize data communication effects. Primarily, the total cellular sum ratio of every V2I connections is employed as an analysis target to enhance the throughput and to minimize end-to-end latency of the whole V2I link. Moreover, efficient resource management and cluster head selection algorithms are developed which grant the optimum resource distribution. According to our results, the proposed scheme with efficient resource management improves cellular user sum rate, average packet received ratio and throughput in comparison with existing schemes.

In the latest years, 3GPP has added short range cellular-vehicle-to-anything (C-V2X) to the features of LTE and 5G in order to make vehicles, roadside devices, and vulnerable users directly exchange information using the same chipset as for classical long range connections. C-V2X is based on the use of advanced physical layer techniques and orthogonal resources, and one of the main aspects affecting its performance is the way resources are allocated. Allocations can be either managed by the network or in a distributed way, directly by the nodes. The latter case, called Mode 4, is defined to manage those situations where the network cannot be involved in the scheduling process, for example due to a lack of coverage, but could also be adopted in order to reduce the processing burden of eNodeB. An algorithm, defined in the standards, makes nodes sense the medium and identify the best time-frequency combination to allocate their messages. Focusing on C-V2V Mode 4, in this work we analyze the parameters of the algorithm designed by 3GPP and their impact on the system performance. Through simulations in different large scale scenarios, we show that modifying some parameters have negligible effect, that the proper choice of others can indeed improve the quality of service, and that a group of parameters allows to trade-off reliability with update delay. The provided results can also be exploited to guide future work.
