description The reliability of V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communication is important for safe automated driving. With the advances in wireless communication and multipath transport protocols, a vehicle can employ multiple wireless interfaces and carry out multipath communication. Although there has been extensive research into increasing the Quality of Service (QoS) performance, such as throughput and delay in V2X communication, few studies have addressed explicit ways of improving the reliability of vehicle-to-cloud (V2C) communication through multipath-based redundancy. This paper addresses the issue of improving V2C reliably via multipath-based packet duplication, with particular consideration given to redundancy mitigation. We propose a method that employs dynamic adjustment of multipath redundancy to maintain packet-delivery reliability in V2C communication while enabling redundancy mitigation. The evaluation results show that the proposed method allows the vehicle to maintain the desired reliability in terms of successful packet transmission while reducing redundancy caused by packet duplication in a multipath connection.
