In plain words
TR 37.985 provides an overall description of 3GPP features introduced to LTE and NR in support of Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services, starting from Rel-14. The TR gives an overview across radio access network (RAN) specifications of "how the features have been designed, and how they operate together" It covers LTE V2X and NR V2X via both sidelink, meaning PC5 interfaces, and cellular uplink/downlink, meaning Uu interfaces.

How this page was made
The facts box and the tables come straight from the 3GPP specification archive and CR database as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
