Through this, it is expected that the construction of the C-ITS infrastructure promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will gain momentum. C-ITS is a road communication infrastructure that enables the sharing and response of traffic risk information in advance through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-road communication. have decided There are two communication technologies in C-ITS: Wi-Fi type WAVE and mobile communication type LTE-V2X. In order to conduct a pilot project for both technologies, a new frequency allocation plan was needed. It explained that the arrangement plan was finalized after comprehensively reviewing the safety of use and protection of existing users. The confirmed layout is as follows. Among the 70 MHz widths (5855-5925 MHz) supplied to C-ITS, the lower 20 MHz width is distributed to LTE-V2X, and the upper 30 MHz width is distributed to WAVE. In addition, the remaining 20 MHz width will be set as a guard band, but it will be used for next-generation C-ITS technology development such as 5G-V2X. Choi Woo-hyeok, director of radio wave policy at the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that as the frequency allocation plan was finalized, the foundation for pilot projects for both C-ITS technologies was laid. To this end, he said that he would continue to cooperate between ministries.
