(ITS).
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and

Introduction
The present document is outlining the access layer of the Sidelink (PC5 interface) of Long Term Evolution based
Vehicle to Everything (LTE-V2X) communication technology ETSI TS 136 300 [2], which can be operated at the 5,9
GHz frequency band allocated in Europe. LTE-V2X access layer consists of RRC layer, PDCP layer, RLC layer, MAC
layer and Physical layer. NAS layer is also introduced as part of access layer in the present document for the provision
of control. The LTE-V2X standard also adds features for congestion control to avoid unstable behaviour and for CEN
DSRC protection. The LTE-V2X standards are defined in ETSI TS 136 331 [1] - ETSI EN 136 414 [17].
Pedestrian is not defined in the present document.

1 Scope
The present document defines the physical layer and the data link layer and radio resource configuration, grouped into
the access layer of the ITS station reference architecture ETSI EN 302 665 [i.5]. The access layer technology that is
specified in the present document refers to what is known as the sidelink or PC5 interface of LTE Vehicle to everything
(LTE-V2X) for the following frequency bands:
• Operation in frequency band dedicated to ITS for safety related applications in the frequency range 5,875 GHz
to 5,925 GHz.
• Operation in frequency bands dedicated to ITS non-safety applications in the frequency range 5,855 GHz to
5,875 GHz.
The LTE-V2X technology is based on 3GPP specifications.
