SHANGHAI, February 25, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Together with relevant ecosystem actors in China – from Government officials to

telecom and automaker companies and the association's community – the 5G

Automotive Association (5GAA) has presented the latest developments on Cellular

Vehicle-to-Everything applications and services at GSMA's Mobile World Congress

Shanghai 2021.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) discussed the latest interoperability

applications for connected vehicles and the large-scale test of C-V2X

communications reliability at GSMA's Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2021. Its

online and offline session offered a full-fledged overview of Connected

Mobility through C-V2X.

Building on its third participation in the Chinese edition of the congress,

5GAA provided an update on how C-V2X fuels the country's connected automotive

revolution. While the association supports the global roll-out of C-V2X, China

has reportedly presented the highest advancement in technology development and

implementation.

"China is at the forefront of C-V2X development and has strongly consolidated

it in its industrial transport policy over the past few years, demonstrating

that smart and safe mobility through C-V2X is here to last", said 5GAA

Director-General Johannes Springer. "The global progress of C-V2X shows that

China paves the way, while 5GAA is instrumental in supporting its

implementation throughout the world".

Building on participation with three consecutive editions of the event, the

2021 edition of the 5GAA conference featured Chinese regulators and 5GAA

members with strong Chinese business relations – from automakers, mobile

networks, equipment suppliers/vendors to chipset suppliers.

While the association highlighted the ecosystem's readiness and the

commercialisation of C-V2X, it also took the occasion to demonstrate its

enhanced collaboration with key Chinese organisations such as IMT-2020PG. It

has conducted the first world open-road C-V2X interoperability showcase and

successfully cooperated with regional standard organisations like the China

Industry Innovation Alliance for Intelligent and Connected Vehicles (CAICV) and

the China Communications Standards Association (CCSA) on the higher layer

implementation. These are further reinforced through cross-participation

agreements of research with Chinese academic institutions such as Tongji

University.

"When comparing the various flavours of V2X standards in China, Europe and the

US, there are differences in upper-layer protocols and security management

solutions", reported 5GAA CTO Maxime Flament. "We believe more can be done to

align these regions."
