- (a)Channels. C-V2X may operate on the following band segments:
- (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.
