Abstract

The next-generation Vehicle-To-everything (V2X) communication network should support high-capacity, ultrareliable, and low-latency massive information exchange to provide unprecedentedly diverse user experiences. The development of the sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication technology will pave the way for the realization of this vision. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), a critical 6G technology, is expected to make a big difference in V2X communications when used in conjunction with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), allowing for extremely increased communication capacity and reduced latency. We proposed a UAV-enhanced RIS-Assisted V2X communication architecture (UR-V2X) suitable for urban three-dimensional (3D) traffic, and designed an adapted UR-V2X MAC protocol (URV-MAC). Analysis and simulation results are presented to demonstrate that URV-MAC achieves a reduction in communication delay and a significant increase in system capacity through detailed design and alternate optimization compared to the existing V2X MAC protocol and no-RIS case.
