(a) Channels. C-V2X may operate on the following band segments:
Table 1 to Paragraph (a)| 10-megahertz channels: | 20-megahertz channels: | 30-megahertz channel: |
|---|
| 5895-5905 MHz | 5895-5915 MHz | 5895-5925 MHz. |
| 5905-5915 MHz | 5905-5925 MHz | |
| 5915-5925 MHz | | |
(b) Safety/public safety priority. The following access priority governs all C-V2X operations:
- (1) Communications involving the safety of life have access priority over all other C-V2X communications;
- (2) C-V2X communications involving public safety have access priority over all other C-V2X except those communications described in (b)(1) of this section. Roadside Units (RSUs) operated by State or local governmental entities are presumptively engaged in public safety priority communications.
(c) Non-priority communications. C-V2X communications not listed in paragraph (b) of this section, are non-priority communications.
- (1) If a dispute arises concerning non-priority communications, the licensee of the later-registered RSU must accommodate the operation of the early registered RSU, i.e., interference protection rights are date-sensitive, based on the date that the RSU is first registered (see § 90.389) and the later-registered RSU must modify its operations to resolve the dispute in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of this section.
- (2) For purposes of this paragraph (c), objectionable interference will be considered to exist when the Commission receives a complaint and the difference in signal strength between the earlier-registered RSU and the later-registered RSU is 18 dB or less (co-channel). Later-registered RSUs causing objectionable interference must correct the interference immediately unless written consent is obtained from the licensee of the earlier-registered RSU.
