We explore a new approach to radio resource allocation for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications in case of out-of-coverage areas that are delimited by network infrastructure. By collecting and predicting information such as vehicle velocity, density and message traffic, the network infrastructure ensures reliability of the V2V services. We propose reserving required amount of resources for services that cannot be pre-scheduled (e.g., emergency braking, crash notifications, etc.), and scheduling those services that can be pre-scheduled (e.g., platooning). We analyze the resource reservation as a function of target reliability under varying vehicle densities and sizes of out-of-coverage area. For pre-scheduled services, we explore how variations in the vehicle velocities and predictions affect successful transmissions. The results indicate that increase in required reliability does not penalize the system prohibitively. On the other hand, speed prediction errors decrease the transmission success rate considerably, thus calling for a more flexible scheduler design.
