24.1.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the current TC are specified in: TS 36.304 clause 11.4, TS 24.301 clause 5.5.1.2.2, TS 24.301 clause 5.5.3.2.2, TS 23.285 clauses 4.4.1.1.1, 4.4.1.1.2, 4.4.2, 4.5.1, 5.3, TS 36.331 clauses 5.2.2.4, 5.2.2.28, 5.10.1d, 5.10.2.2, 5.3.3.1a, 5.10.13.1.

[TS 36.304, clause 11.4]

If the UE has selected a cell on a non-serving frequency for sidelink communication or V2X sidelink communication or sidelink discovery announcement, it shall perform additional intra-frequency reselection process to select a better cell for sidelink operation on that frequency in accordance with section 11.4.1.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.1.2.2]

If the UE supports V2X communication over PC5, then the UE shall set the V2X PC5 bit to "V2X communication over PC5 supported" in the UE network capability IE of the ATTACH REQUEST message.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.3.2.2]

If the UE has to request resources for V2X communication over PC5 (see TS 23.285 [47]), then the UE shall set the "active" flag to 1 in the TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message.

For all cases except case b, if the UE supports V2X communication over PC5, then the UE shall set the V2X PC5 bit to "V2X communication over PC5 supported" in the UE network capability IE of the TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message.

[TS 23.285, clause 4.4.1.1.1]

The basic principles of service authorization for V2X communications over PC5 reference point:

– The UE gets authorization to use V2X communications over PC5 reference point on a per PLMN basis in the serving PLMN by the V2X Control Function in the HPLMN.

– The V2X Control Function in the HPLMN requests authorization information from the V2X Control Function of the serving PLMN.

– The V2X Control Function in the HPLMN merges authorization information from home and serving PLMNs and informs the UE of the final authorization information.

– The V2X Control Function in the VPLMN or HPLMN may revoke the authorization at any time. The V2X Control Function in the HPLMN shall be notified when authorization is revoked by the VPLMN.

[TS 23.285, clause 4.4.1.1.2]

The following information is provisioned to the UE for V2X communications over PC5 reference point:

1) Authorization policy:

– When the UE is "served by E-UTRAN":

– PLMNs in which the UE is authorized to perform V2X communications over PC5 reference point.

– When the UE is "not served by E-UTRAN":

– Indicates whether the UE is authorized to perform V2X communications over PC5 reference point when "not served by E-UTRAN".

2) Radio parameters for when the UE is "not served by E-UTRAN":

– Includes the radio parameters with Geographical Area(s) that to enable the UE to perform V2X communications over PC5 reference point when "not served by E-UTRAN". These radio parameters (e.g. frequency bands) are defined in TS 36.331 [9] and contain an indication of whether they are "operator managed" or "non-operator managed". The allowed "non-operator managed" radio resources for V2X communications are defined in TS 36.101 [24]. The UE uses the radio parameters only if the UE can locate itself in the corresponding Geographical Area. Otherwise, the UE is not authorized to transmit.

3) Policy/parameters for V2X communication over PC5 reference point:

– The mapping of Destination Layer-2 ID(s) and the V2X services, e.g. PSID or ITS-AIDs of the V2X application.

NOTE 1: PLMN operators coordinate to make sure Destination Layer-2 ID(s) for different V2X services are configured in a consistent manner.

NOTE 2: To pre-configure a UE with the provisioning parameters, at least the "not served by E-UTRAN" parameters of 1) and 2), and the parameters of 3) need to be included.

– The mapping of ProSe Per-Packet Priority and packet delay budget for V2X communication (autonomous resources selection mode).

[TS 23.285, clause 4.4.2]

PC5 reference point as defined in TS 23.303 [5] is used for the transmission and reception of V2X messages. The V2X communication over PC5 reference point supports roaming and inter-PLMN operations. V2X communication over PC5 reference point is supported when the UE is "served by E-UTRAN" and when the UE is "not served by E‑UTRAN".

A UE is authorized to transmit and receive V2X messages by the V2X Control Function in its home PLMN as described in clause 5.2.

The V2X communication over PC5 reference point is a type of ProSe Direct Communication with the following characteristics:

– The V2X communication over PC5 reference point is connectionless, and there is no signalling over PC5 control plane for connection establishment.

– V2X messages are exchanged between UEs over PC5 user plane.

– Both IP based and non-IP based V2X messages are supported.

– For IP based V2X messages, only IPv6 is used. IPv4 is not supported in this release.

The identifiers used in the V2X communication over PC5 reference point are described in clause 4.5.1.

[TS 23.285, clause 4.5.1]

Each UE has a Layer-2 ID for the V2X communication over PC5 reference point, which is included in the source Layer-2 ID field of every frame that it sends on the layer-2 link. The UE self-assigns the Layer-2 ID for the V2X communication over PC5 reference point.

When IP based V2X messages are supported, the UE auto-configures a link local IPv6 address to be used as the source IP address, as defined in clause 4.5.3 of TS 23.303 [5].

In order to ensure that a source UE (e.g. vehicle) cannot be tracked or identified by any other UEs (e.g. vehicles) beyond a certain short time-period required by the application, the source Layer-2 ID must be changed over time and randomized. For IP based V2X communication over PC5 reference point, the source IP address must be also changed over time and randomized. The change of the identifiers of a source UE must be synchronized across layers used for PC5, e.g. when application layer identifier changes, the source Layer-2 ID and the source IP address need to be changed.

The UE is configured with the destination Layer-2 ID(s) to be used for V2X services. The Layer-2 ID for a V2X message is selected based on the configuration as described in clause 4.4.1.1.

[TS 23.285, clause 5.3]

To perform V2X communication over PC5 reference point, the UE is configured with the related information as described in clause 4.4.1.1.

The procedure for one-to-many ProSe Direct Communication transmission described in clause 5.4.2 of TS 23.303 [5] is applied to V2X communication over PC5 reference point with following differences:

– The source Layer-2 ID is set to the Layer-2 ID described in clause 4.5.1.

– A UE shall be configured with a set of Layer-2 ID corresponding to different type of services.

The procedure for one-to-many ProSe Direct Communication reception described in clause 5.4.3 of TS 23.303 [5] is applied to V2X communication over PC5 reference point.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.2.2.4]

3> if the UE did not transmit a SidelinkUEInformation message since last entering RRC_CONNECTED state; or

4> initiate transmission of the SidelinkUEInformation message to indicate the V2X sidelink communication transmission resources required by the UE in accordance with clause 5.10.2.3;
