Joint Coding of eMBB and URLLC in Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Communications

A point-to-point communication is considered where a roadside unite (RSU) wishes to simultaneously send messages of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) services to a vehicle. The eMBB message arrives at the beginning of a block and its transmission lasts over the entire block. During each eMBB transmission block, random arrivals of URLLC messages are assumed. To improve the reliability of the URLLC transmissions, the RSU reinforces their transmissions by mitigating the interference of eMBB transmission by means of dirty paper coding (DPC). In the proposed coding scheme, the eMBB messages are decoded based on two approaches: treating interference as noise, and successive interference cancellation. Rigorous bounds are derived for the error probabilities of eMBB and URLLC transmissions achieved by our scheme. Numerical results illustrate that they are lower than bounds for standard time-sharing.
