contents Spectrum scarcity is one of the main challenges of future wireless technologies. When looking at vehicle-to-everything (V2X), this is amplified as spectrum sharing could impact road safety and traffic efficiency. It is therefore of particular importance to study solutions that allow the coexistence, in the same geographical area and in the same channels, of what are today the main V2X access technologies, namely IEEE 802.11p and sidelink LTE-V2X Mode 4. In this work, in addition to investigating the impact of the reciprocal interference, which we demonstrate to have a strong impact especially on the first and in congested channel conditions, a mitigation solution is extensively studied, which is based on the insertion of the IEEE 802.11p preamble at the beginning of the LTE-V2X sidelink transmission. The proposal, which is also under discussion within the standardization bodies, requires no modifications to the IEEE 802.11p protocol stack and minor changes to LTE-V2X sidelink. This solution is directly applicable to upcoming IEEE 802.11bd and extendable to NR-V2X sidelink. The paper shows, through analysis and simulations in free-flow and dense scenarios, that the proposal allows for a mitigation of collisions caused by co-channel coexistence under low to high-load channel conditions and that the improvement is also granted in congested cases when combined with additional countermeasures. Regarding the latter aspect, in particular, different approaches are compared, demonstrating that acting on the congestion control mechanisms is a simple but effective solution.
