Optimizing the channel resource usage for sensor data sharing with V2X communications

Sensor data sharing in V2X communication enables vehicles to exchange locally perceived sensor data with each other to increase their environmental awareness. It relies on the periodic exchange of selected, safety-relevant objects. Object selection is used to reduce channel resource usage. Additionally, vehicles use congestion control mechanisms to avoid overloading the channel. Currently, both object selection and congestion control mechanisms operate independently. We study a congestion-aware object filtering approach combining both and improving the performance of sensor data sharing.
