9.15.3 PC5 provisioning for multi-operator V2X services

9.15.3.1 General

This subclause describes the procedure for PC5 provisioning for multi-operator V2X services.

9.15.3.2 Procedure

Figure 9.11.3.2-1 illustrates the procedure where the VAE server supports the PC5 provisioning for multi-operator V2X services.

Pre-conditions:

1. The V2X UEs have connected to the V2X application server.

2. The V2X UEs are authorized by their corresponding PLMNs to use PC5 communication.

Figure 9.15.3.2-1: PC5 provisioning for multi-operator V2X services

1. The V2X application specific server provides a V2X PC5 provisioning requirement to the VAE server.

2. Optionally, the VAE Server sends a PC5 provisioning status request to the VAE Client (within the multi-operator V2X service) to receive up-to-date information on the per PLMN provisioning policies/ parameters.

3. Optionally, upon receiving the request as in Step 2, the VAE Client sends a PC5 provisioning status response to VAE server, which includes a report on the up-to-date policies /parameters per PLMN (e.g. application QoS – to – PQI mapping, range, radio parameters) and optionally PC5 related events (PC5 expected link downgrade).

4. The VAE Server determines the updated PC5 provisioning policies/parameters to be jointly used across the V2X-UEs within the multi-operator V2X service.

NOTE: How the VAE server derives a merged set of PC5 policies is implementation dependent.

5. The VAE Server provides the PC5 parameter provisioning information to the V2X UE via V1-AE reference point for V2X communication on PC5 as specified in clause 9.6.4.

NOTE: How the V2X UE selects which policy to apply is implementation dependent.

6. VAE Server sends a V2X PC5 provisioning requirement notification to the V2X application specific server to inform on the result of the multi-operator PC5 provisioning.
