To this aim, specific bands have been reserved in some countries worldwide and different wireless technologies have been developed; however, these are not interoperable. Recently, the issue of co-channel coexistence has been raised, leading the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to propose a number of solutions, called mitigation methods, for the coexistence of the IEEE 802.11p based ITS-G5 and the 3GPP fourth generation (4G) long term evolution (LTE)-V2X sidelink. In this work, several of the envisioned alternatives are investigated when adapted to the coexistence of the IEEE 802.11p with its enhancement IEEE 802.11bd and the latest 3GPP standards, i.e., the fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR)-V2X. The results, obtained through an open-source simulator that is shared with the research community for the evaluation of additional proposals, show that the methods called A and C, which require modifications to the standards, improve the transmission range of one or both systems without affecting the other, at least in low-density scenarios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23094337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T02:02:23Z","timestamp":1682647343000},"page":"4337","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Analysis of Co-Channel Coexistence Mitigation Methods Applied to IEEE 802.11p and 5G NR-V2X Sidelink"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5223-4752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhuofei","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"},{"name":"Wireless Laboratory (WiLab), National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering \u201cGuglielmo Marconi\u201d (DEI), University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1428-9776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefania","family":"Bartoletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless Laboratory (WiLab), National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering (DEE), University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2241-8948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NXP Semiconductors, 31023 Toulouse, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6737-6710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vittorio","family":"Todisco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless Laboratory (WiLab), National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering \u201cGuglielmo Marconi\u201d (DEI), University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3500-1997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Bazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless Laboratory (WiLab), National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering \u201cGuglielmo Marconi\u201d (DEI), University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Svegander, M., and The Future of V2X Communications (2023, April 14).
