Understanding Road Scene Situation and Semantic Representation of Road Scene Situation for Reliable Sharing

In an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that receives road scene data and vehicle operation data from one or more sensors associated with a first vehicle on a road segment; receives situation ontology data; automatically generates a semantic road scene description of the road segment using the road scene data, the vehicle operation data, and the situation ontology data; and transmits, via a communication network, the semantic road scene description to one or more other vehicles associated with the road segment. Automatically generating the semantic road scene description of the road segment can include determining lane-level activity information for each lane based on lane information and dynamic road object information and determining a lane-level spatial layout for each lane based on the lane information and the dynamic road object information.

INTERFACING EMERGENCY EVENTS WITH MAP/ROUTING SOFTWARE TO RE-ROUTE NON-EMERGENCY TRAFFIC TO CREATE PATHS FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES

A Public Safety Access Point (PSAP) or other system can receive an emergency event. Based on information associated with the emergency event, the PSAP can determine which emergency vehicle can respond to the event. The PSAP may then determine an origination point, a destination, and a route that will be used by the emergency vehicle. The route information may then be communicated to a map server, one or more vehicles that may be affected by the route of the emergency vehicle, and/or other systems, devices, and/or computer systems. The map server, vehicles, etc. can then reroute or change a characteristic of a vehicle's travel to adjust for the travel and route of the emergency vehicles.

A user equipment (UE) comprises control circuitry and transmission circuitry. The control circuitry may be configured to select one sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) sequence from multiple SLSS sequences. The transmission circuitry may be configured to transmit SLSS which is generated by using the selected SLSS sequence. The multiple SLSS sequences may consist of a first subset and a second subset, the first subset being for in-network-coverage, the second subset being for out-of-network-coverage. The first subset may include a third subset, the third subset corresponding to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) timing.

Consensus-based monitoring of driving behavior in connected vehicle systems

A method for vehicle traffic behavior monitoring and feedback that includes collecting vehicle sensor data from a set of vehicles operating in a traffic environment, where each vehicle transmits vehicle sensor data via a communications network to a processor, and forming a consensus block of aggregate data, where the aggregate data is made of individual vehicle sensor data from each vehicle in the set of vehicles, and where the processor discards duplicate data and repetitive data from the consensus block. The method also includes detecting, in the consensus block, a vehicle motion pattern, where the vehicle motion pattern deviates from a threshold by greater than a tolerance, mapping the vehicle motion pattern to a particular vehicle in the set of vehicles, and generating a feedback response based on the mapping.

Mobile cellular network backhaul

A mobile cellular network (MCN) communication system can provide an independent mobile cellular network to devices within a covered area. In addition, the MCN communication system can communicate with other MCN communication systems using a wireless standard that is similar to the wireless standard used to communicate with user equipment within the covered area. In some instances, the MCN communication system can be registered as a user equipment of another MCN communication system and/or have another MCN communication system registered with it as a user equipment.

At least part of the resource configuration which is initially planned is transmitted to the vehicle mounted device from the base station. The base station updates the resource configuration. At least part of the resource configuration which is updated is transmitted o the vehicle mounted device from the base station.

Transfer method and donor eNodeB for subframe configuration information of serving cell

A transfer method for subframe configuration information of a serving cell and a donor eNodeB are applied in a mobile relay scene. The method comprises: a current donor eNodeB sending a cell activation message to a target donor eNodeB, wherein the cell activation message comprises Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex (LTE-TDD) subframe configuration information of a serving cell of a mobile relay (MR) under the current donor eNodeB. The above-mentioned technical solution solves the problem how to ensure the continuity of the TDD subframe configuration in the cell of the target DeNB currently when the MR moves among several donor eNodeBs.
