Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) is a communication technology that enables vehicles to exchange real-time information with their surroundings. By leveraging existing cellular networks, C-V2X provides a unified solution for V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle), V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure), V2P (vehicle-to-pedestrian), and V2N (vehicle-to-network). It improves road safety, reduces traffic congestion, and supports the transition toward connected and autonomous driving.

This report highlights key developments in C‑V2X standards and industry updates, with a special focus on newly declared SEPs (Standard Essential Patents). It offers a clear and simple overview of the C‑V2X advancements shaping the future of mobility ecosystems.

Key insights this month:

  • SEPs Activity: Qualcomm and Toyota show strong engagement across the NR V2X sidelink architecture (TS 38.300) and key physical‑layer (PHY) specifications (TS 38.214, TS 38.213).

  • Key Deployments: Renault and EyeNet conduct C‑V2X collision‑prevention trials, while Ettifos and Cohda Wireless support V2X tolling and smart‑city applications.

  • Patents: Patenting trends show a move toward decentralized, sidelink‑based architectures for lower latency.
