s, while also highlighting challenges and future perspectives in the promising area of network slicing for V2X communications. Chapter 14 presents an optimal resource allocation scheme that maximizes the spectral efficiency (SE) by communication and control co-design, where both URLLC and control convergence rate requirements are considered. The scheme enables the use of the optimal resource to support URLLC while guaranteeing the required control performance level. The chapter presents the analysis of the relationship between the control convergence rate and communication requirements and the impact of both on the URLLC quality. Finally, an iter- ative method to obtain the optimal resource allocation that maximizes the SE is developed. Results are included to show the effectiveness of this method.
