Introduction
V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), including DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication) and C-V2X (Cellular
Vehicle-to-Everything), is one of the technologies applied in vehicles supporting automated driving.
Dealing with immunity of components and vehicles equipped with V2X communication, can help to avoid
unreasonable degradation of automated driving from electromagnetic interference. When considering
simulating V2X operation during an immunity test, this can prove to be difficult.
The purpose of this document is to describe the background of V2X operating conditions and information on
the V2X simulation in the laboratory during the immunity test.
Due to the complexity of the vehicles and the conditions in an EMC chamber, some tests may only be possible
with significant modifications of vehicle or vehicle systems under test or EMC chamber.
This type of testing is very complex on complete vehicle level and is therefore not readily applied as a formal
technical requirement with a straightforward pass/fail verdict. For that reason, this document is created as
a guidance technical report when performing quality assurance work.

4 Overview of V2X
4.1 V2X description
V2X can be considered as a wireless environment sensing sensor, which allows vehicles to share information
through communication channels. It can detect hidden threats and expand the sensing range of automated
vehicle. There are many advanced applications where V2X communication is used such as vehicle platooning,
remote driving and cooperative automated valet parking system. V2X has the potential to inform the ego-
vehicle about the status of a traffic light or other vehicles, weather conditions, crashes on the road and
construction on the road, especially during severe weather conditions and in complex traffic scenarios. V2X
contains V2V, V2I, V2P and V2N as shown in the following.
— vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications (same as car-to-car (C2C));
— vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications (same as car-to-infrastructure (C2I));
— vehicle to pedestrian (V2P) communications (same as car-to-pedestrian (C2P));
— vehicle to network (V2N) communications (same as car-to-network (C2N)).
V2X contains positioning technology and wireless communication technology. Two major wireless
communication technologies can support V2X applications, namely DSRC and C-V2X. DSRC was published by
the 802.11p group of IEEE in 2010. C-V2X was first introduced at World Telecommunication Day Conference
in 2013 and published in 3GPP in 2017.
C-V2X communications contain three communication interfaces, for example:
— PC5 communications interface;
— cellular communications interface (LTE, NR).
Examples of general structure description of V2X on-board unit are shown in Figure 1.

4.2 Legislation and standards
4.2.1 ISO/TR 4804 – Automated driving systems safety
The safety design of automated driving systems is described in ISO/TR 4804. This document describes steps
for developing and validating automated driving systems based on basic safety principles derived from
worldwide applicable publications. It considers safety-by-design and cybersecurity-by-design, as well as
verification and validation methods for automated driving systems, focused on vehicles with level 3 and
level 4 features according to SAE J3016.
ISO/TR 4804 automated driving systems description is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 — ISO/TR 4804 automated driving systems description
All entities that an automated driving system requires to account for its functional behaviour are perceived,
pre-processed and provided safely. The highest priority is placed on entities with the highest associated
risk of collision. Example entities include dynamic instances (e.g. other road users and characteristics of
the respective movement), static instances (e.g. road boundaries, traffic guidance signals) and obstacles
exceeding a critical size. Localization and V2X information are two of the main elements used to generate
the present world model.
4.2.2 ISO 22737 – Low-speed automated driving (LSAD) systems
The safe operation of low-speed automated driving (LSAD) systems is described in ISO 22737, where V2N
technique is applied. The LSAD system periodically provides its status (e.g. system health, trip status) to the
user and the dispatcher/control server. The selected predefined route and emergency stop can be provided
by the dispatcher/control centre with communication.
ISO 22737 LSAD system description is shown in Figure 3.

4.3 Technical characteristics of V2X
This information is provided in Annex A.
5 Introduction of radiated immunity testing for components with V2X
5.1 General
V2X immunity can be tested to avoid the unreasonable degradation of automated driving due to
electromagnetic interference. However, conventional standards lack the communication link to verify the
immunity of components with V2X.
V2X immunity can be evaluated using the ISO 11452-2, ISO 11452-5, ISO 11452-8 and ISO 11452-9, other
documents from ISO 11452 series remain under consideration.
The following can be considered with respect to the feasibility of radiated immunity testing and in-band
noise generation due to:
— RF harmonics of the generator and amplifier of the radiated immunity field generation;
— The fact that the ETSI standards normally specify an unmodulated test level of 3 V/m outside the
exclusion band, whereas a vehicle safety level test would be at a 30 V/m peak test level, thus causing
a higher amount of in-band injected noise. For that reason, an ETSI specified exclusion band does not
readily apply to a vehicle related radio system;
— In contrast to other digital electronic systems, the radio front end has a very differentiated response
to in-band noise with respect to modulation of the carrier of the impinging field. For a test that would
reflect the actual RF threat for a vehicle, the combination of both amplitude and modulation of the field
can be carefully reassessed.
5.2 Introduction of link communication connection
Link antennas or transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) links with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), cellular
(Uu link), and proximity communication at 5,9 GHz/Dedicated Short-Range Communication (PC5/DSRC)
are considered to activate the V2X communication operation. In this link communication connection, link
signals (intentional communication signal) at the input of receivers can be set according to the ETSI EN
301 489 series.
For the DUT with distributed antenna, the conducted link with an optical fibre or coaxial cable can be used
between the simulators and the DUT, where the conducted interface is applied only to one port of the DUT.
The wiring harness between the antenna and DUT can be considered as the test harness parallel to the front
edge of the ground plane.
For the DUT with an integrated antenna, the over-the-air interface with link antennas for GNSS, BSM (PC5
link), or cellular (Uu link, if necessary, in C-V2X) signal can be used.
For the DUT with distributed Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas to increase the Radio
Frequency (RF) performance, the over-the-air interface can also be used.
In the over-the-air layout, link antennas can be positioned at a sufficient distance to avoid mutual coupling.
This over-the-air interface can be similar to vehicle levels in a telecommunication environment.
5.3 Communication indicators for monitoring
Examples of monitoring indicators for the malfunction description are as follows.
Core data frame of BSM (part 1), as defined by technical standards (see Table A.18).
— Msg count, GNSS (latitude, longitude), speed, header, etc.
Parameters in the physical (PHY) layer of BSM, as defined by technical standards (see A.2 and A.3).
— Tx power, data rate (modulation), Rx power (RSSI), Rx Sensitivity (PER, throughput), operating channel, etc.
5.4 Testing results with communication monitoring
5.4.1 General
V2X technology is a two-way communication method that enables the transmission of information between
an HV and any surrounding entity that might affect the said vehicle. However, the characteristics of V2X
communication differ from those of mobile communication technologies such as LTE. Each Tx/Rx signal
with a BSM for V2X is a form of one-way communication similar to broadcasting. Therefore, this document
shows test cases in Tx and Rx modes for V2X and C-V2X for two types of DUT as HV.
According to each technical standard, in general driving conditions where Distributed Congestion Control
(DCC) is not applied, the BSM data rate is 6 Mbps (1/2 QPSK), while the interval is 100 ms. Meanwhile, the
maximum Tx power at the DUT’s output is 23 dBm. In several countries, the BSM operating channel is set at
172 or 174 for V2X and 182 for C-V2X.
The V2X call simulator outside the chamber can be used as a remote vehicle (RV), as it can generate and
analyse BSM signals.
To avoid problems with noise or harmonics, it is possible to use band-pass or band-reject filter(s) either
between the Rx and Tx lines of the V2X and GNSS simulators or at the output of the RF power amplifier, or both.
For monitoring malfunctions in V2X communication, the PC or special analyser connected to the DUT can be
used, but the error from the connecting line with the PC is not a fault case.
Examples of V2X component communication monitoring are shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 — Examples of Tx/Rx communication monitored by simulators outside the chamber
5.4.2 Fault cases of V2X component (DUT) in Tx mode
The DUT inside the chamber receives the GNSS signal and then transmits the BSM with arbitrary core data.
The call simulator outside the chamber then analyses the received BSM.
The fault cases of the DUT operating in Tx mode can be detected by monitoring the core data and PHY layer
parameters of the BSM, whose contents are shown in 5.3.
Figure 6 shows that BSM core message parameters and PHY layer parameters monitored by the V2X call
simulator outside the chamber and Figure 7 shows that msg count, throughput, and Rx power monitored by
the C-V2X call simulator outside the chamber.
— BSM transmitted every 100 ms can be checked in terms of msg count in fault cases, but it cannot be
counted in the call simulator outside the chamber.
— GNSS data can be generated by the GNSS simulator outside the chamber; in fault cases, however, it can be
corrupted or missing in the call simulator outside the chamber.
— The rest of the core data, except for the msg count information and GNSS data, can be generated arbitrarily
by the DUT manufacturer. In a fault case, it can be corrupted or missing in the call simulator outside the
chamber.
— The PHY layer parameters in the BSM can be monitored by the call simulator. In fault cases, the Rx power
(RSSI) can be rapidly reduced, the Rx sensitivity (PER, throughput) can be degraded, and the data rate
(modulation) can be changed unexpectedly in the call simulator outside the chamber.

5.4.3 Fault cases of V2X component (DUT) in Rx mode
The call simulators outside the chamber transmit the BSM containing the GNSS signal and core data based
on an arbitrary V2V scenario, as shown in Figure 8. On the left is an arbitrary V2V scenario of V2X, and on
the right is an arbitrary V2V scenario of C-V2X.
The DUT inside the chamber analyses the incoming BSM containing the GNSS signal and core data based on
an arbitrary V2V scenario.
Figure 8 — Example of arbitrary scenarios generated by the V2X and C-V2X call simulator outside
the chamber
An example of fault cases in the Rx mode of the V2X component (DUT) in the chamber are shown in Figure 9.
The fault cases of the DUT operating in Rx mode can be detected by monitoring the core data and PHY layer
parameters of the BSM, whose contents are shown in 5.3 with the PC or special analyser connected to the DUT.
— BSM received every 100 ms can be checked through the msg count. In fault cases, it cannot be counted in
the DUT.
— GNSS data can be generated by the GNSS simulator outside the chamber according to an arbitrary V2X
scenario. In fault cases, however, it can be corrupted or missing in the DUT.
— The rest of the core data, except for the msg count information and GNSS information, can be generated
arbitrarily by the call simulator. In fault cases, it can be corrupted or missing in the DUT.
The PHY layer parameters in BSM can be monitored in the DUT. In the fault case, the Rx power (RSSI) can be
rapidly reduced, the Rx sensitivity (PER) and throughput can be degraded, and the data rate (modulation)
can be changed unexpectedly in the DUT.

5.5 Summary
When V2X communication is in operation, it means that the Tx and Rx of cellular (Uu link, if necessary, in
C-V2X), BSM (PC5 link), or GNSS are activated. For this activation, a conducted interface using an optical
link or coaxial cable or an over-the-air interface using an antenna can be used between the DUT and call
simulators.
This document shows two test cases of a V2X component: the DUT in Tx mode and Rx mode. It was shown
that the fault cases of the DUT in each mode can be detected by monitoring the core data and PHY layer
parameters of the BSM.
Test goal is to demonstrate the immunity of the V2X functions to electromagnetic interference.
6 Introduction of radiated immunity testing for vehicles with V2X
6.1 General
V2X immunity can be tested to avoid the unreasonable degradation of automated driving due to
electromagnetic interference.
NOTE This document proposes only examples for ALSE test method (ISO 11451-2), other test methods such as
reverberation mode (ISO 11451-5) will be considered in a future edition.

6.2 Link communication connection introduction
To activate the vehicle into a communication operation state, the HV can show RVs information through an
application with a V2X function and also transmit its own information.
For example, monitoring malfunctions in V2X communication can be used with an application using human
interface in the vehicle and a diagnostic interface to control the PC or equipment.
Link antennas or Tx/Rx links with GNSS, cellular (Uu link), and PC5/DSRC are considered to activate the V2X
communication operation with an over-the-air layout. In this link communication connection, link signals at
the input of receivers can be set according to the ETSI EN 301 489 series.
6.3 Introduction of V2X scenario simulation
There are various scenarios in Annex B. The V2X scenario depends on the functionality of the HV. If the HV
equipped with V2X communication does not provide any service, the monitoring indicators are the same
as the component test in 5.3. However, if the HV equipped with V2X communication can offer services with
warning functions relying on data exchange with the RVs, the immunity of the HV can be tested according to
a relevant V2X scenario chosen among those proposed in Annex B.
Figure 10 represents a V2V scenario use case where an HV traveling in the same direction receives BSMs
generated from an RV located at the forward position.

Figure 10 — Example of V2X scenario use case
Figure 11 shows V2X scenario simulation in an ALSE.
Similar to the component test in Rx mode, V2X scenarios can activate V2X functions in an HV which can be
modeled with a call simulator acting as an RV from outside the chamber and two GNSS simulators. The BSM

signals can be generated and analysed by the call simulator. In addition, two GNSS simulators can be used
for the HV and RV. The use of a dynamometer depends on the scenario and HV functions.
Simple V2X scenarios (e.g. day 1) can be modeled with a call simulator and two GNSS simulators. Alternatively,
GNSS data in the BSM for the RV can be made using a call simulator or any other simulator or software (SW)
applications. In this case, just one GNSS simulator can be used for the HV.
When the V2X function is in operation, it means that the BSM in Tx mode and the warning function in Rx
mode are both activated. During this test, the over-the-air method is used to make wireless and position
communication links. Furthermore, the driving trajectory of two vehicles is simulated to activate the
V2X functions based on V2X scenarios. The GNSS simulator and V2X simulator do not need to control the
dynamometer.
Monitoring malfunctions in V2X communication, in Rx mode, it is whether V2X functions in HV present
issues. In Tx mode, it can be monitored by PHY layer parameters and BSM core data analysis from call
simulator, such as components test.
Figure 11 — Examples of V2X scenario simulation introduction in ALSE chamber
Some examples of V2X functions scenarios are provided below.
a) Emergency electronic brake lights
This use case consists of any vehicle signaling its hard braking to its local followers. The hard braking
corresponds to the switch on of emergency electronic brake lights. This scenario is shown in Figure 12.

presence of an emergency vehicle imposes an obligation on vehicles in the path of the emergency
vehicle to give way and to free an emergency corridor. This scenario is shown in Figure 13.

According to each technical standard, in general driving conditions where DCC is not applied, the BSM data
rate is 6 Mbps (1/2 QPSK), while the BSM interval is 100 ms. Meanwhile, the maximum Tx power at the
DUT’s output is 23 dBm. In several countries, the BSM operating channel is set at 172 or 174 for V2X and 182
for C-V2X.
The V2X call simulator outside the chamber can be used as an RV, as it can generate and analyse BSM signals.
To avoid problems with noise or harmonics, it is possible to use band-pass or band-reject filter(s) either
between the Rx and Tx lines of the V2X and GNSS simulators or at the output of the RF power amplifier, or
both (see 7.5).
Furthermore, a GNSS simulator can be used for the HV, but in the radiated immunity test, all used GNSS
frequency bands can be excluded (See 7.3).
6.4.2 Fault cases of V2X functions in Rx mode
As the RV, the call simulator outside the chamber transmits the BSM containing the GNSS signal and core
data based on the above V2V scenario. The HV inside the chamber can monitor the V2X functions or show RV
information through an application based on V2V scenarios.

Three examples of fault cases of V2X functions in Rx mode are shown below.
a) Emergency electronic brake light indicators
The emergency electronic brake lights function as intended. Figure 15 is an example of
emergency electronic brake light indicators displayed through the car's internal monitor.

b) Emergency vehicle warning
Emergency vehicle warnings are able to alarm as intended. Figure 16 is an example
of an emergency vehicle warning displayed through the car's internal monitor.

c) Traffic light optimal speed advisory
The countdown to the traffic lights counts as intended. Figure 17 is an example of traffic light optimal
speed advisory displayed through the car's internal monitor.

6.4.3 Fault cases of vehicle in Tx mode
The HV inside the chamber receives the GNSS signal and then transmits its own BSM with core data through
the V2X on-board unit (OBU) based on one of the V2V scenarios. The call simulator outside the chamber
analyses the received BSM.
The fault cases of vehicles in the Tx mode can be detected by monitoring the core data and PHY layer
parameters of the BSM, whose contents are shown in 5.3. These are similar to the component test in 5.4.2.
6.4.4 Fault cases of GNSS
The HV inside the chamber can receive the GNSS signal from the GNSS simulator outside the chamber.
Figure 18 shows examples of fault cases that HV received GNSS signals and not all of signals are received.

6.4.5 Fault cases of cellular
The HV inside the chamber can communicate through the Uu link with the call simulator outside the
chamber. The Uu link is a type of two-way communication equivalent to mobile devices.
An example of Uu link fault cases is shown in the throughput error decreasing to 1 Mbps in Figure 19.

6.5 Summary
When the V2X function is in operation, it means that the BSM in Tx mode and the warning function in Rx
mode are both activated. During this test, the over-the-air method is used to make wireless and position
communication links. Furthermore, the driving trajectory of two vehicles is simulated to activate the V2X
function based on V2X scenarios. The test goal is to demonstrate the immunity of the V2X functions to
electromagnetic interference.
