However, co-channel inter-link interference presents significant challenges for scalable V2V communications. To overcome such limitations, this paper firstly analyzes the required data rate ensuring maneuver safety via mmWave V2V relays in an overtaking traffic scenario. Based on these preparations, we propose a distributed radio resource management scheme that integrates spatial, frequency, and power domains for two transmission ranges (short\/long). In the spatial domain, ZigZag antenna configuration is utilized to mitigate the interference, which plays a decisive role in the short inter-vehicle distance. In frequency and power domains, two resource blocks are allocated alternately, and transmit power is controlled to suppress the interference, which has a decisive impact on interference mitigation in the long inter-vehicle distance. Simulation results reveal that the achievable End-to-End (E2E) throughput maintains consistently higher than the required data rate for all vehicles. Most importantly, it works effectively in scalable mmWave V2V topology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22010093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,23]],"date-time":"2021-12-23T21:40:21Z","timestamp":1640295621000},"page":"93","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Distributed and Scalable Radio Resource Management for mmWave V2V Relays towards Safe Automated Driving"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7376-0372","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7797-4829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9635-3182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kazuki","family":"Maruta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy for Super Smart Society, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9334-2477","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kei","family":"Sakaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan"},{"name":"Academy for Super Smart Society, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"3GPP TR22.886 (2016, December 16).
