WSA - WAVE WSMP

Description

This solution is used within the U.S.. It combines standards associated with WSA with those for V–X: WAVE WSMP. The WSA standards include standards required to advertise ITS services to short–range wireless devices. The V–X: WAVE WSMP standards include lower–layer standards that support connectionless, near constant, ultra–low latency vehicle–to–any communications within ~300m using the WAVE Short Messaging Protocol (WSMP) over IEEE WAVE in the 5.9GHz spectrum. The broadcast mode is interoperable with M5 FNTP.

Includes Standards

LevelDocNumFullNameDescription
MgmtIEEE 1609.3IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) – Networking ServicesThis standard defines the network and transport layer options for the WAVE environment. The standard defines three options: a bandwidth efficient single–hop solution known as WSMP, UDP/IP, and TCP/IP. It has been harmonized with ISO FNTP and FSAP – a common message format specified in ISO 16460.
MgmtAddressed ElsewhereAddressed Elsewhere in StackThe services related to this portion of the stack are defined in the other standards listed for this solution.
SecurityIEEE 1609.2IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments – Security Services for Applications and Management MessagesThis standard defines secure message formats and processing for use by Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices, including methods to secure WAVE management messages and methods to secure application messages. It also describes administrative functions necessary to support the core security functions.

Readiness: High–Moderate

Readiness Description

One significant or possibly a couple minor issues. For existing deployments, the chosen solution likely has identified security or management issues not addressed by the communications solution. Deployers should consider additional security measures, such as communications link and physical security as part of these solutions. They should also review the management issues to see if they are relevant to their deployment and would require mitigation. For new deployments, the deployment efforts should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not by itself provide a fully secure implementation without additional work.
