scope:

The scope of the present document is to identify a common set of standards and specify configuration parameter values and references required for the implementation of direct communication between ITS stations, to achieve interoperable deployment of ITS services via V2V and V2I links.

The scope is limited to communication aspects of ITS stations using the single access layer technology LTE-V2X PC5 mode 4. Additional requirements like triggering conditions, position accuracy, security, and functional safety aspects are out of scope of the present document.

Descriptions, definitions and rules for all layers (Applications, Facilities, Networking & Transport and Access) of the ETSI ITS station reference architecture are considered as needed.
