A method for performing, by a first device, wireless communication and an apparatus for supporting same are provided. The method includes: receiving a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from a second device; determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource associated with the PSSCH; and transmitting, to the second device, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback on the PSFCH resource. Here, at least one subchannel for the PSSCH is associated with at least one first PSFCH resource including at least one second PSFCH resource, each second PSFCH resource included in the at least one first PSFCH resource is associated with each slot on the at least one subchannel, and the PSFCH resource may be determined on the basis of information related to the at least one subchannel for the PSSCH, information related to at least one slot for the PSSCH, and a source ID of the second device.

Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous vehicles may be automatically refueled by routing the vehicles to available fueling stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A fuel level within a tank of an autonomous vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a refueling threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to refuel the vehicle may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a fueling station, refill a fuel tank, and return to its starting location in order to refuel when not in use.

A vehicular control system includes a plurality of sensors that include at least a camera and a 3D point-cloud LIDAR. As the vehicle travels along a road, and responsive at least in part to processing at an electronic control unit of 3D point-cloud LIDAR data captured by the 3D point-cloud LIDAR, the vehicular control system (a) determines presence of a pedestrian or cross traffic vehicle present exterior of the vehicle that (i) is not on the road that is being travelled along by the vehicle and is approaching the road to cross the road ahead of the vehicle and (ii) is at least in the field of sensing of the 3D point-cloud LIDAR and (b) at least in part controls at least one vehicle function of the vehicle responsive at least in part to the determined presence of the pedestrian or cross traffic vehicle.

Disclosed embodiments include technologies for improving safety mechanisms in computer assisted and/or automated driving (CA/AD) vehicles for protecting vulnerable road users (VRUs). Embodiments include Dynamic Contextual Road Occupancy Map (DCROM) for Perception aspects for VRU safety. Other embodiments are described and/or claimed.

A communication system includes a central cloud server that detects the presence of an active sync path at each of a first edge device and a second edge device, where the first edge device is arranged at a first location at a vehicle and the second edge device is arranged at a second location of the vehicle. The central cloud server further determines a dominant edge device and a non-dominant edge device from the first edge device and the second edge device. The central cloud server further elects the determined dominant edge device from the first edge device and the second edge device to service one or more user equipment (UEs) in the vehicle, which improves performance in terms of data throughput and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of one or more UEs present in the vehicle by effectively controlling cooperation between two edge devices arranged in the vehicle.

A vehicle control system is provided that includes a control unit that can be disposed onboard a vehicle to control movement of the vehicle; and one or more transceiver devices that can emit plural signals from the vehicle, with at least one of the plural signals containing a vehicle identifier, and, responsive to a receiver unit disposed off-board the vehicle receiving at least one of the plural signals, the control unit can determine a location of the vehicle and can communicate a signal to the one or more transceiver devices based on the location. The control unit can change the movement of the vehicle based on the vehicle location information.

Embodiments are presented herein for adjusting the conduct of routine communications of safety messages in V2X networks in order to conserve resources in participating power-limited devices while satisfying V2X system latency demands. Scheduling (e.g., timing and/or frequency) of safety message communications performed by certain UE devices participating in a V2X network may be dynamically adjusted according to various criteria, such as factors relating to the DRX cycle schedule, motion or mobility, traffic environment, and/or battery or power capabilities of the UE devices, which may conserve UE resources and power consumption. Certain UE devices may efficiently transmit safety messages to the V2X network using one of several proposed RACH-based procedures. In some embodiments, the size of safety message communications may be reduced through various compression techniques, and/or by reducing the amount of contained information, e.g., by omitting certain parameters, which may reduce the resources consumed by performing safety message communications.

System and method for sharing data about an object in accordance to various aspects. A mobile device comprises: a memory; a sensor to detect an object and generate data about the object; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to: receive the data from the sensor; determine a relevance of the data; and choose an interface for transmitting the data based on the relevance.

A communication system includes a central cloud server that detects the presence of an active sync path at each of a first edge device and a second edge device, where the first edge device is arranged at a first location at a vehicle and the second edge device is arranged at a second location of the vehicle. The central cloud server further determines a dominant edge device and a non-dominant edge device from the first edge device and the second edge device. The central cloud server further elects the determined dominant edge device from the first edge device and the second edge device to service one or more user equipment (UEs) in the vehicle, which improves performance in terms of data throughput and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of one or more UEs present in the vehicle by effectively controlling cooperation between two edge devices arranged in the vehicle.

A driving assistance processing method is provided. In the method, location information and traveling status information of a plurality of vehicle terminals are obtained. A forward collision warning (FCW) message is generated in response to detecting that a specified vehicle terminal of the plurality of vehicle terminals has a potential collision risk. The potential collision risk is detected based on the location information of at least the specified vehicle terminal and the traveling status information of at least the specified vehicle terminal. A transmission mode of the FCW message is determined based on communication capabilities of the plurality of vehicle terminals included in an FCW vehicle set of the specified vehicle terminal. The FCW message is transmitted to the plurality of vehicle terminals included in the FCW vehicle set in the determined transmission mode. Apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium counterpart embodiments are also contemplated.
