Landscape Study of V2X Technology

Description

V2X is a generic term devised to describe use cases like V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure), V2P (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian), V2D (Vehicle-to-Device), V2N (Vehicle-to-Network), etc. Properly put, V2X enables any vehicle to interact and communicate with other vehicles, roadside entities, pedestrians, and networks with high reliability, low latency, and high throughput. V2X creates collective mobility rather than just autonomy.

To understand the key patent contributions to V2X technology, we calculated the number of patent family declarations made against each V2X specification as well as other specifications containing V2X-specific sections up to March 2022 using the 3GPP official website.

Remarkably, V2X covers a broad set of technologies, like 4G and 5G, and is not limited to V2X alone. Likewise, the V2X-related specifications are not entirely relevant to V2X, as many of the specifications apply to broader technologies as well. Hence, it requires V2X-relevant section consideration.
