Inteligentni transportni sistemi (ITS) - Specifikacija dostopovne plasti pri inteligentnih transportnih sistemih, ki delujejo v frekvenčnem pasu 5 GHz
Področje uporabe tega dokumenta je določanje dveh najnižjih plasti, fizične plasti in plasti podatkovnih povezav, združenih v dostopovni plasti referenčne arhitekture postaje ITS EN 302 665 [i.8]. Tehnologija dostopovne plasti, ki je določena v tem dokumentu, ima skupno ime ITS-G5. Ta tehnologija je del komunikacijskega sklada, ki podpira izmenjavo podatkov med mobilnimi postajami brez predhodno nastavljenega omrežja, tj. ad hoc način, in sicer za naslednje frekvenčne pasove v Evropi:
– ITS-G5A: delovanje ITS-G5 v evropskih frekvenčnih pasovih ITS, namenjenih za ITS, in sicer za uporabe, povezane z varnostjo, v frekvenčnem območju od 5,875 do 5,905 GHz.
–ITS-G5B: delovanje v evropskih frekvenčnih pasovih ITS, namenjenih za ITS, in sicer za uporabe, ki niso povezane z varnostjo, v frekvenčnem območju od 5,855 do 5,875 GHz.
– ITS-G5D: delovanje uporab ITS v frekvenčnem območju od 5,905 do 5,925 GHz.
Tehnologija ITS-G5 temelji na standardih IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] in IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-2-1998 [5]. Z nastavitvijo spremenljivke MIB »dot11OCBActivated« na vrednost »true« v IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] se omogoči komunikacija zunaj konteksta BSS. Ta vrsta komunikacije omogoča takojšnjo izmenjavo podatkovnih okvirjev in izogibanje splošnemu upravljanju, ki je potrebno pri vzpostavitvi omrežja. Vse zahteve iz standarda IEEE 802.11-2012 [3], povezane s komunikacijo »zunaj konteksta BSS«, so tudi zahteve tega dokumenta. Vse izbirne funkcije iz standarda IEEE 802.11-2012 [3], povezane s komunikacijo »zunaj konteksta BSS«, so izbirne tudi v tem dokumentu.

Introduction The present document is outlining the two lowest layers - physical layer and data link layer - in the protocol stack for supporting vehicle-to-vehicle communications in an ad hoc network to be used at the 5,9 GHz frequency band allocated in Europe. The two lowest layers are termed access layer in the present document and the technology specified for the access layer is collectively called ITS-G5. The ITS-G5 standard is using already existing standards for communications. The data link layer is divided into two sublayers; medium access control and logical link control. The physical layer and the medium access control layer are covered in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3]. The logical link control is based on the IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-2-1998 [5]. The ITS-G5 standard also adds features for decentralized congestion control (DCC) methods TS 102 687 [8] to control the network load and avoid unstable behaviour. By setting the management information base (MIB) parameter dot11OCBActivated to true in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] a new capability is introduced namely the possibility to communicate outside the context of a basic service set (BSS), which is the smallest building block of a 802.11 network. Communication outside the BSS implies that neither authentication/association procedures nor security mechanisms are supported. Further, no access point functionality is present. The disable of these features also affects other built-in features of IEEE 802.11-2012 [3]. The requirement that nodes should share a common clock is no longer valid while dot11OCBActivated is true. Further, scanning of available frequency channels for joining a BSS is also disabled implying that communication outside the context of the BSS requires that a node is configured for a predetermined frequency channel where more information about other available frequency channels can be obtained.
NOTE: IEEE has compiled a new version of the 802.11 standard where all approved amendments produced between 2007 and 2011 have been enrolled in the base standard including 802.11p. This new version called IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] was approved in March 2012. Due to this new version of 802.11 the 802.11p amendment is classified as superseded.

ETSI ETSI EN 302 663 V1.2.1 (2013-07) 5 1 Scope The scope of the present document is to define the two lowest layers, physical layer and the data link layer, grouped into the access layer of the ITS station reference architecture EN 302 665 [i.8]. The access layer technology that is specified in the present document is collectively called ITS-G5. It is part of the communication stack supporting data exchange between mobile stations without prior network set-up, i.e. ad hoc mode, for the following frequency bands in Europe: • ITS-G5A: Operation of ITS-G5 in European ITS frequency bands dedicated to ITS for safety related applications in the frequency range 5,875 GHz to 5,905 GHz. • ITS-G5B: Operation in European ITS frequency bands dedicated to ITS non-safety applications in the frequency range 5,855 GHz to 5,875 GHz. • ITS-G5D: Operation of ITS applications in the frequency range 5,905 GHz to 5,925 GHz. The ITS-G5 technology is based on IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] and IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-2-1998 [5]. By setting the MIB variable dot11OCBActivated to true in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] communication outside the context of a BSS is possible. This type of communication allows for immediate exchange of data frames, avoiding the management overhead used with the establishment of a network. All requirements in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] associated with communication "outside the context of a BSS" are also requirements in the present document. All optional functionality in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] associated with communication "outside the context of a BSS" is also optional in the present document. 2 References References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific.

ETSI ETSI EN 302 663 V1.2.1 (2013-07) 11 4.2.4 ITS-G5C frequency band The conditions for using the ITS-G5C band are given in the Commission Decisions 2005/513/EC [i.5] and 2007/90/EC [i.6]. The technical requirements for this band are detailed in EN 301 893 [i.14]. NOTE: The ITS-G5C band is also referred to broadband radio access networks (BRAN), radio local area network (RLAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN). Operation in the RLAN band requires transmit power control (TPC), a procedure for dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and uniform spreading, in order to detect signals from radar systems and to avoid co-channel interference. This functionality is not supported when setting the MIB parameter dot11OCBActivated to true. Therefore, it is not possible to use the ITS-G5 stations for communication in the ITS-G5C band outside the context of a basic service set, the rationale behind this is detailed in the informative annex C. 4.2.5 ITS-G5D frequency band This frequency band is set aside for future usage of ITS road traffic applications and it is allowed to be used by ITS-G5 compliant stations as specified in the present document.
4.3 Channel allocation Channel allocation shall be as specified in Table 1. One physical channel is allocated to be the control channel (CCH), termed G5-CCH. Seven fixed service channels and one variable physical service channel are identified as G5-SCHs.

The usage of G5-CCH and G5-SCH1 to G5-SCH2 are dedicated basically for ITS road safety. G5-SCH3 to G5-SCH5 are essentially dedicated for ITS road traffic efficiency. A more detailed description of usage is defined in TS 102 724 [i.9]. In Table 3 the different physical channels are mapped to the frequency ranges found in Table 1 for clarification.

Introduction
The present document is outlining the two lowest layers - physical layer and data link layer - in the protocol stack for
supporting vehicle-to-vehicle communications in an ad hoc network to be used at the 5,9 GHz frequency band allocated
in Europe. The two lowest layers are termed access layer in the present document and the technology specified for the
access layer is collectively called ITS-G5. The ITS-G5 standard is using already existing standards for communications.
The data link layer is divided into two sublayers; medium access control and logical link control. The physical layer and
the medium access control layer are covered in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3]. The logical link control is based on the
IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-2-1998 [5]. The ITS-G5 standard also adds features for decentralized congestion control (DCC)
methods TS 102 687 [8] to control the network load and avoid unstable behaviour.
By setting the management information base (MIB) parameter dot11OCBActivated to true in
IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] a new capability is introduced namely the possibility to communicate outside the context of a
basic service set (BSS), which is the smallest building block of a 802.11 network. Communication outside the BSS
implies that neither authentication/association procedures nor security mechanisms are supported. Further, no access
point functionality is present. The disable of these features also affects other built-in features of IEEE 802.11-2012 [3].
The requirement that nodes should share a common clock is no longer valid while dot11OCBActivated is true.
Further, scanning of available frequency channels for joining a BSS is also disabled implying that communication
outside the context of the BSS requires that a node is configured for a predetermined frequency channel where more
information about other available frequency channels can be obtained.
NOTE: IEEE has compiled a new version of the 802.11 standard where all approved amendments produced
between 2007 and 2011 have been enrolled in the base standard including 802.11p. This new version
called IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] was approved in March 2012. Due to this new version of 802.11 the 802.11p
amendment is classified as superseded.

1 Scope
The scope of the present document is to define the two lowest layers, physical layer and the data link layer, grouped into
the access layer of the ITS station reference architecture EN 302 665 [i.8]. The access layer technology that is specified
in the present document is collectively called ITS-G5. It is part of the communication stack supporting data exchange
between mobile stations without prior network set-up, i.e. ad hoc mode, for the following frequency bands in Europe:
• ITS-G5A: Operation of ITS-G5 in European ITS frequency bands dedicated to ITS for safety related
applications in the frequency range 5,875 GHz to 5,905 GHz.
• ITS-G5B: Operation in European ITS frequency bands dedicated to ITS non-safety applications in the
frequency range 5,855 GHz to 5,875 GHz.
• ITS-G5D: Operation of ITS applications in the frequency range 5,905 GHz to 5,925 GHz.
The ITS-G5 technology is based on IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] and IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-2-1998 [5]. By setting the MIB
variable dot11OCBActivated to true in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] communication outside the context of a BSS is
possible. This type of communication allows for immediate exchange of data frames, avoiding the management
overhead used with the establishment of a network. All requirements in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] associated with
communication "outside the context of a BSS" are also requirements in the present document. All optional functionality
in IEEE 802.11-2012 [3] associated with communication "outside the context of a BSS" is also optional in the present
document.

4.2.2 ITS-G5A frequency band
The ITS-G5A frequency band is set aside for ITS road traffic safety applications and it is only allowed to be used by
ITS-G5 compliant stations as specified in the present document.
4.2.3 ITS-G5B frequency band
The ITS-G5B frequency band is set aside for ITS non-safety road traffic applications and it is only allowed to be used
by ITS-G5 compliant stations as specified in the present document.

4.2.4 ITS-G5C frequency band
The conditions for using the ITS-G5C band are given in the Commission Decisions 2005/513/EC [i.5] and
2007/90/EC [i.6]. The technical requirements for this band are detailed in EN 301 893 [i.14].
NOTE: The ITS-G5C band is also referred to broadband radio access networks (BRAN), radio local area network
(RLAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN).
Operation in the RLAN band requires transmit power control (TPC), a procedure for dynamic frequency selection
(DFS) and uniform spreading, in order to detect signals from radar systems and to avoid co-channel interference. This
functionality is not supported when setting the MIB parameter dot11OCBActivated to true. Therefore, it is not
possible to use the ITS-G5 stations for communication in the ITS-G5C band outside the context of a basic service set,
the rationale behind this is detailed in the informative annex C.
4.2.5 ITS-G5D frequency band
This frequency band is set aside for future usage of ITS road traffic applications and it is allowed to be used by ITS-G5
compliant stations as specified in the present document.
4.3 Channel allocation
Channel allocation shall be as specified in Table 1. One physical channel is allocated to be the control channel (CCH),
termed G5-CCH. Seven fixed service channels and one variable physical service channel are identified as G5-SCHs.
