Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Intelligent Transport Systems
(ITS).
The present document is part 4, sub-part 2 of a multi-part deliverable. Full details of the entire series can be found in
part 1 [i.1].
Introduction
The GeoNetworking protocol is a network layer protocol that provides packet routing in an ad hoc network. It makes
use of geographical positions for packet transport. GeoNetworking supports the communication among individual
ITS-Ss as well as the distribution of packets in geographical areas.
GeoNetworking can be executed over different ITS access technologies for short-range wireless technologies, such as
ITS-G5. In order to reuse the GeoNetworking protocol specification for multiple ITS access technologies, the
specification is separated into media-independent and media-dependent functionalities. Media-independent
GeoNetworking functionalities are those which are common to all ITS access technologies for short-range wireless
communication and are specified in EN 302 636-4-1 [1]. The present document specifies media-dependent
functionalities for GeoNetworking when using the ITS access technology ITS-G5 [2]. It covers an information sharing
strategy for the decentralized congestion control (which is situated in the ITS access layer) and it provides multichannel
operation.
The specification in the present document should be regarded as ITS-G5 specific extensions of the GeoNetworking
protocol specified in [1] and does not represent a distinct protocol entity.

4 Overview
The present document specifies the media-dependent functionalities necessary to run the GeoNetworking protocol [1]
over ITS-G5 media [2]. The functionalities are:
• information sharing for Decentralized Congestion Control (DCC) (clause 5);
• support for multi-channel operation (annex A);
• interference mitigation techniques for co-existence between CEN DSRC and cooperative ITS (annex B).
Additionally, the present document specifies extensions to the GeoNetworking location table (clause 6), to the
GeoNetworking header (clause 7) and to the GeoNetworking MIB (clause 9). Clause 8 specifies the traffic classes (TC)
used for ITS-G5.
Figure 1 illustrates the ITS reference architecture as specified in [i.2]. The present document specifies ITS-G5 specific,
media-dependent functionalities for the GeoNetworking protocol, which are found in the ITS networking & transport
layer.

Figure 1: ITS-S reference architecture as specified in [i.2]
DCC is a necessity to control the load on a specific frequency channel and to avoid unstable behaviour. As specified in
[i.3], several different frequency channels are available for Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) in Europe. Figure 2 illustrates the
frequency channels together with their maximum allowed output power levels [i.3]. The spectrum comprises of four
service channels (SCHx) and one control channel (CCH). The frequency band ITS-G5A contains frequency channels
CCH, SCH1, and SCH2, which are intended for ITS road safety related applications. SCH3 and SCH4 are contained in
the frequency band ITS-G5B and are intended for ITS non-safety applications. ITS-G5D is for future use and not yet
allocated for C-ITS. The present document addresses information sharing to be used in the DCC algorithm for the
access layer technology ITS-G5, which primarily uses the frequency bands ITS-G5A, ITS-G5B, and ITS-G5D.

5 Information sharing for decentralized congestion
control
5.1 Introduction
This clause specifies an information sharing concept for the DCC algorithm situated in the ITS access layer [3]. The
DCC algorithm controls the network load and thereby avoids unstable behaviour of the system due to its ad hoc
topology [3]. The information sharing is based on dissemination of channel busy ratio (CBR) values among the ITS-Ss.
This dissemination of CBR values makes the ITS-S aware of a possible channel congestion at neighbouring ITS-Ss that
the ego ITS-S can contribute to (even though the ego ITS-Ss does not perceive a local congested channel status). More
information about the CBR information dissemination and motivation of thereof is found in [i.4]. The obvious place for
CBR dissemination is at the network & transport layer due to its network wide view. The dissemination of CBR values
are conducted in every transmitted Single Hop Broadcast (SHB) packet assembled at the networking & transport layer,
see clause 7. For every entry of an ITS-S in the location table [1], there will also be information about its transmitted
CBR values.
Additionally, the algorithm to ensure coexistence between CEN DSRC equipment used for Electronic Toll Collection
(ETC) and ITS described in TS 102 792 [4] belongs to the networking & transport layer (due to the network wide view
and the placement of the location table). Depending on whether the placement of the CEN DSRC equipment on the
roadside is known or unknown, the combination of the DCC concept and the coexistence algorithm looks different.
Proposed implementation details for coexistence methods are given in informative annex B.
The information sharing shall provide a parameter called CBR_G to the management entity. This parameter is used by
the DCC algorithm in the ITS access layer when calculating the current allowed time between packets [3]. The
information sharing shall read the local CBR from the management via a parameter called CBR_L_0_Hop. The value of
CBR_L_0_Hop is disseminated in SHB packets. More information about the inclusion of CBR values at the networking
& transport layer can be found in clause 5.2.3. A schematic overview of the information sharing together with DCC in
the protocol stack is depicted in figure 3. The exchange of CBR_G and CBR_L_0_Hop could also be performed via the
service access point (SAP) between the access and networking & transport layers.

5.2 Information sharing
5.2.1 General rules
The information sharing is subject to the following general rules:
• The inclusion of CBR values shall be performed in each GN SHB packet.
• The calculation of CBR_G shall be activated at every trigger interval, T_trig.
5.2.2 CBR aggregation
The CBR dissemination and aggregation are central in DCC since this is regarded as the best feedback that can be used
in C-ITS, where broadcast is the prevalent transmission mode (see also [i.4]).
The CBR aggregation is dependent upon the following CBR parameters:
• CBR_L_0_Hop,
• CBR_L_1_Hop,
• CBR_L_2_Hop,
• CBR_R_0_Hop,
• CBR_R_1_Hop, and
• CBR_G.
The CBR parameters are described in detail in table 1.

Table 1: Description of necessary CBR parameters for DCC algorithm
Parameter Description
Local (measured) channel busy ratio, disseminated to neighbouring ITS-S as CBR_R_0_Hop.The
CBR_L_0_Hop
local CBR measurement is performed in the access layer and specified in [3].
CBR_L_1_Hop is the maximum CBR_R_0_Hop value received from a neighbouring ITS-S in a
CBR_L_1_Hop given T_cbr interval, i.e. it is the 1-hop channel busy ratio. It is subsequently disseminated to
neighbours as CBR_R_1_Hop.
CBR_L_2_Hop is the maximum CBR_R_1_Hop value received from a neighbouring ITS-S in a
CBR_L_2_Hop
given T_cbr interval, i.e. it is the 2-hop channel busy ratio. It is never disseminated by ego ITS-S.
Disseminated local (measured) channel busy ratio (CBR_L_0_Hop), i.e. CBR_L_0_Hop becomes
CBR_R_0_Hop
CBR_R_0_Hop when disseminated. At receiving ITS-S it becomes CBR_L_1_Hop.
Disseminated 1-hop channel busy ratio (CBR_L_1_Hop), i.e. CBR_L_1_Hop becomes
CBR_R_1_Hop
CBR_R_1_Hop when disseminated. At receiving ITS-S it becomes CBR_L_2_Hop.
Global channel busy ratio at ego ITS-S, used in the DCC algorithm (maximum over
CBR_G
CBR_L_0_Hop, CBR_L_1_Hop and CBR_L_2_Hop).
In control theory called reference value. It is the intended global channel busy ratio that DCC tries
to achieve. The CBR_target shall be one common parameter for both the access layer and the
CBR_target
network and transport layer DCC algorithm (e.g. shared as constant MIB parameter – see
Annex C).

For every ITS-S, i, in the location table:
• CBR_R_0_Hop(i) is the remote CBR_L_0_Hop received from i,
• CBR_R_1_Hop(i) is the remote CBR_L_1_Hop received from i.
A plausibility check shall be performed when calculating CBR_L_1_Hop and CBR_L_2_Hop from the maximum value
of CBR_R_0_Hop(i) and CBR_R_1_Hop(i), since the highest received value could come from a faulty chipset or
malicious sources. The plausibility check shall be performed as follows:
• If the CBR_L_1_Hop is larger than CBR_target and the average of all CBR_R_0_Hop(i) is smaller than
CBR_target, take the second largest entry found for CBR_R_0_Hop(i); otherwise take the largest entry.
• If the CBR_L_2_Hop is larger than CBR_target and the average of all CBR_R_1_Hop(i) is smaller than
CBR_target, take the second largest entry found for CBR_R_1_Hop(i); otherwise take the largest entry.
Following this procedure the 1-hop channel busy ratio CBR_L_1_Hop shall be calculated according to equation (2)
when the average of CBR_R_0_Hop(i), i.e. , from equation (1) is bigger than CBR_target.

The global channel busy ratio CBR_G(n) after the nth trigger interval, T_trig, is calculated as specified in equation (5).
CBR_G (n) = max ( CBR_L_0_Hop (n-1), CBR_L_1_Hop (n), CBR_L_2_Hop (n) ) (5)
The initial values are CBR_L_1_Hop(0) = 0 and CBR_L_2_Hop(0) = 0.
The CBR_G value is the input to the DCC algorithm running at the access layer as specified in [3].
5.2.3 Sending process
ITS-Ss executing the GeoNetworking protocol over ITS-G5 shall include the following DCC information in every
transmitted SHB packet:
• the most recently obtained value CBR_L_0_Hop;
• the most recently calculated value CBR_L_1_Hop.
Further details are specified in clauses 6 and 7 of the present document.
