An information processing device acquires a first future position where the moving object travels in the future; acquires a second future position where another moving object travels in the future; judges a current communication environment with another moving object based on a signal received from another moving object; corrects the current communication environment based on the acquired first future position and the acquired second future position, and judges a future communication environment with another moving object based on the corrected current communication environment.

Multi-channel communication over wired and/or wireless communication mediums is contemplated. The multi-channel communication may be of the type sufficient to facilitate data delivery utilizing two or more channels/paths associated with an access point configured to facilitate communications with a plurality of devices. The multi-channel communications may be controlled to maximize performance through limitations placed on communications permitted over one or more of the channels/paths.

In aspects of managing FTM frames of WLAN RTT bursts, a device can receive a WLAN RTT burst, such as initiated by a device application, device firmware, or received as a RTT ranging request. The device implements a status module that interposes the routing of the ranging request in the device, and determines a device state of the device with a device state monitor of the status module. The status module is implemented to drop the ranging request if the device is an idle device state such that the ranging request is extraneous. Alternatively, the status module is implemented to reduce a number of FTM frames in the ranging request based on the device state indicating that multiple FTM frames of the ranging request are extraneous, and then route to perform the ranging request of the WLAN RTT burst with the reduced number of FTM frames in the ranging request.

System and techniques for geographic routing are described herein. A node receives a data packet that includes map data, a sequence of geographic areas to a requestor, and a target geographic area. The node may then determine that it is within the target geographic area and start a transmit timer based on a next-hop geographic area. Here, the next-hop geographic area is determined from the sequence of geographic areas in the data packet. The node may then counts how many other nodes from the geographic area sent data packets while the transmit timer is running. When the transmit timer expires, the node may transmit a modified data packet when the number of data packets is less than a predefined threshold. Here, the modified data packet is the data packet updated to include local map data and the next-hop geographic area.

Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

A communication system includes a central cloud server that gradually decreases a gain of a currently active path, which corresponds to a primary communication path between a radio access network (RAN) node and one or more user equipment (UEs) via a first set of edge devices of a plurality of edge devices, until the currently active path becomes dormant. The central cloud server then gradually increases a gain of a dormant path, which corresponds to a secondary communication path between the RAN node and the one or more UEs via a second set of edge devices of the plurality of edge devices, until the dormant path becomes a new active path. Further, the central cloud server periodically checks whether the new active path has a signal strength greater than a threshold in order to maintain a continuity in service to the one or more UEs for an uplink and downlink communication.

According to a source node and a destination node of each data packet p in a given data packet set required to be transmitted by the wireless vehicular network, the joint scheduling based wireless vehicular network routing algorithm determines overall transmission performance of the wireless vehicular network and a transmission latency and transmission cost of the data packets, and determines an optimal transmission strategy. A multi-order Markov chain is used to model position change processes of vehicle nodes, and a next moment and several moments in the future are predicted and estimated under the condition that positions at previous several moments are given. On the basis of position actual values and predicted estimated values of the vehicle nodes, the optimal transmission strategy is combined to achieve data routing in the wireless vehicular network. The data-aware routing method is mainly used for data communication of a vehicular ad hoc network.
