    Abstract

    Future automotive systems are expected to significantly benefit from a range of diverse mechanisms and capabilities that will be offered by the emerging fifth-generation (5G) cellular technology. In particular, one of the most prominent 5G use cases is represented by the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) context, which aims to enhance people's driving experience with collective safety and infotainment applications (e.g., autonomous driving, driver assistance, and contextual information). To achieve the requirements of better reliability, lower latency, and higher data rate, the use of extremely high frequencies (known as millimeter-wave, mmWave) is envisioned as an efficient solution. In fact, very high numbers of sensors deployed on vehicles introduce a serious challenge for the initial access procedure due to likely collisions in case of massive connection attempts. For that reason, the goal of this work is to offer improvements to the reliability of the initial access procedure for 5G mmWave cellular in massive V2X communications scenarios. In doing so, we propose to exploit redundant preamble transmissions in order to faster acquire a data transmission opportunity. Our obtained results indicate that by sending multiple replicas of a random access preamble the success probability to transmit at the first attempt is at least twice higher than that with the legacy approaches where a single random access preamble is being sent.
