US/Sino duo work to accelerate C-V2X technology

Long-term evolution-vehicle to everything (LTE-V2X), a C-V2X technology defined by the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) in its release 14 standard, supports side-link and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications using PC5, LTE’s direct interface.

GOHIGH, a leading Chinese company in C-V2X standardisation and industrialisation under CICT (China Information & Communication Technologies Group), successfully used Keysight’s C-V2X measurement solutions, including N7626C Signal Studio for V2X and N9080EM$E X-Series Measurement Application for LTE V2X, to validate the radio frequency (RF) performance of the company’s DMD31 LTE-V module.

This enabled GOHIGH to accelerate commercial readiness of connected car applications.

The collaboration between Keysight and GOHIGH enables manufacturers of LTE-V standard-based chipsets, devices, as well as on-board units (communication devices mounted on vehicles) and roadside units (communication infrastructure located on the roads), to validate the radio frequency (RF) performance of the PC5 interface. This ensures reliable deployment of C-V2X technology.

Users of Keysight’s software-rich and integrated C-V2X solutions can quickly validate LTE-V RF measurements from early R&D to design verification test (DVT) and manufacturing.

“We’re excited to collaborate with global manufacturers of C-V2X technology, such as GOHIGH, to help R&D teams characterise, understand, integrate and deploy this new technology now and in the future as 5G and C-V2X continue to evolve,” said Cao Peng, senior director of Keysight’s Commercial Communications group.
