Vehicle Speed-Aware Jammer-Resilient Receiver for Multi-User MIMO V2X Systems

Abstract

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication plays a crucial role in enabling connected and autonomous driving by supporting the reliable exchange of safety-critical information among vehicles and infrastructure. However, due to the open nature of wireless channels, V2X systems are vulnerable to various physical-layer attacks, among which jamming is one of the most intuitive and severe threats. In this paper, we propose a vehicle speed-aware jammer-resilient reception framework for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) V2X systems. The proposed method exploits the fundamental difference in Doppler characteristics between stationary jammers and moving vehicles. By transforming the received signal into the Doppler domain, the receiver identifies low-Doppler components associated with static interference and suppresses them through Doppler-domain filtering. Notably, the proposed approach does not require prior knowledge of the jammer channel or its spatial direction, making it suitable for practical V2X environments. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively mitigates strong jamming signals and significantly improves the achievable sum-rate compared with conventional receivers.
