Optimized location information is provided for a location based service. An event is detected which is indicative of an error in the location based service which degrades the performance of the location based service. A cause of the error is determined, and resolution of the error is initiated based on the determined cause.

A method for coordinating communication amongst a plurality of mobile devices, includes generating joint transmission information describing transmission information for use by the plurality of mobile devices in transmitting data related to a cooperative communication message to a destination node and instructing a mobile device to transmit a coordination message to the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the coordination message includes the joint transmission information.

A method for executing or adapting a forwarding strategy in a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) includes performing, by a first vehicle being a node in the VANET, the following actions: analyzing current environmental conditions; creating a forwarding strategy based on the current environmental conditions; and forwarding information to other vehicles in the VANET according to the created forwarding strategy.

A method for communication within a cooperative intelligent transport system. The method comprises receiving, in a first node, a first intelligent transport system message from another node of the cooperative intelligent transport system. In the first node, a technology status of that another node is identified. The technology status comprises information whether or not the first intelligent transport system message was transmitted configured according to a predetermined first intelligent transport system technology, and information whether or not the first intelligent transport system message comprises a dual technology indicator. The dual technology indicator is an information element identifying that the node transmitting the first intelligent transport system message is capable of communicating intelligent transport system messages according to the first intelligent transport system technology as well as according to a predetermined second technology. A corresponding node for communication within a cooperative intelligent transport system is also disclosed.

In an aspect an apparatus receives information as part of a handover command, the information received from a serving cell and including radio resource information used in a neighboring cell for V2X communications. Additionally, the apparatus transmits, from the UE, a request for V2X communication resources as part of a handover command. In another aspect an apparatus transmits a serving cell SIB to a UE, the SIB including a reception pool. The apparatus transmits a cell ID in the serving cell SIB for a neighboring cell. The reception pool is a transmission pool for the neighboring cell. The apparatus relinquishes a communication with the UE to a base station in the neighboring cell.

The present disclosure includes systems and methods that enable V2X communications over a wireless wide area network (WWAN). A registration request is sent to an intelligent transportation system (ITS) function. The registration request is for requesting authorization for a device to host a V2X service in a cellular network. A registration response is received from the ITS function. The registration response is for authorizing the device to host the V2X service in the cellular network. The V2X service is hosted in the cellular network via the ITS function.

A system and method is introduced for communicating over the internet with no internet attack surface using internet connected devices. An isolated device referred to as a dc device, is introduced to function as a place for carrying out computations in isolation from internet connected devices as well as from other instances within the dc device. A user is able to interact with the dc device through a dc terminal. The dc terminal may make use of the input/output interfaces of the user internet connected device, while maintaining the isolation of the dc device. A dc server is introduced for communicating with the dc device over the internet with no internet attack surface. Having introduced the dc device, the dc terminal and the dc server, a dc domain is defined where communication between devices and between users and devices takes place in the dc domain over the internet with no internet attack surface. Uses for the dc domain may be user authentication, messaging between users, payment applications, cloud applications, IoT, smart vehicles, medical applications, document uses and so forth. In the dc domain content and ad serving may take place between a dc server and a dc device.

The present invention provides methods for supporting a public transportation by using a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) at a Passenger Control Center (PCC) in a wireless access system. One of the methods comprising steps of tracking taxis in a coverage of the PCC in order to support the public transportation; transmitting a first Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) or Vehicle to Network (V2N) message triggering a public transportation service to the tracked taxis; receiving a second V2I or V2N message from one or more taxis including location information of each of the taxis; collecting traffic situation information on an area including the PCC; deciding candidate taxis based on the location information and the traffic situation information; and transmitting a third V2I or V2N message indicating pick up passengers at a specific taxi stand to the candidate taxis, wherein each of the taxis is a vehicle user equipment (VUE).

The disclosure relates to a method for monitoring an internet connection, which is provided in a motor vehicle by means of a mobile wireless connection established between the motor vehicle and a mobile wireless network, wherein the mobile wireless connection has switched into roaming operation is detected by way of a roaming signal. A predetermined connectivity test is performed by means of a control apparatus in the motor vehicle after receipt of the roaming signal in order to detect an interruption of the internet connection and, if an interrupted internet connection is detected, an indication signal is sent to a user of the motor vehicle.

Systems and methods for detecting and classifying anomalies in a network of moving things. As non-limiting examples, various aspects of this disclosure provide configurable and adaptable systems and methods, for example in a network of moving things, for detecting various operational anomalies, classifying such anomalies, and/or reporting such anomalies.
