Popis: This paper shows through real-life measurement that bi-directional vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication latency can be dominated by sidelink scheduling delay when causality is not taken into account. Moreover, the large delay persists for a few seconds at a time once it occurs. In applications like maneuver coordination between autonomous vehicles or in platoon, such delay can be highly detrimental to safety and efficiency. We investigate the source of the problem and propose a solution that factors in causality in interactive communication. Specifically, we develop a constraint under which the resource positions are automatically aligned between the communicating vehicles, and the delay spikes are provably eliminated. Through the measurements on commercial V2X devices, we confirm that enforcing the constraint can remove latency spikes so that 5G sidelink can be more easily applied to time-sensitive interactions between vehicles.
