In automotive infotainment systems, vehicles using the applications are serviced via continuous infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communications. Additionally, the I2V communications can be combined with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) connectivity owing to the small area covered by road side units (RSUs). However, dozens of vehicles have to compete for limited bandwidth when they request service simultaneously in the covered area. In this paper, we propose a joint scheduling and power control scheme for I2V and V2V links in the RSUs’ coverage range. Mapping the I2V and V2V links to tuple-links, we formulate a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem where frequency scheduler and power controller for those tuple-links are jointly designed. Then, we employ the delayed column generation technique and the transmission pattern definition to decompose the MINLP problem into a transmission pattern scheduling problem, as well as a power control problem. Therein, the transmission pattern scheduling problem is solved by linear programming while a greedy power control algorithm is developed. Simulation results with practical parameter settings show that our proposed scheme outperforms several conventional schemes in terms of service disruption and achieved throughput while maintaining throughput fairness among the requesting vehicles. In particular, a high channel number, a small power level number, and a large buffer size at the requesting vehicles are shown to be helpful for our proposed scheme.
