Dynamic map can be performed local dynamic map (local dynamic map, LDM) facility (one by processor 120 Kind of software program) in instruction generation.After dynamic map is generated, DSRC modules 104 share dynamic map with primary processor 102 (or data packet corresponding to dynamic map).
It is as previously mentioned, communication equipment 100 can include user interface 110.User interface 110 can include any element Or component passes on information to the user of communication equipment 100 and/or receives input from the user, such as keyboard, microphone, raise one's voice Device and/or display unit.Such as V2X message can be automatically generated or created by user interface 110 by the user of communication equipment 100 Build.In one embodiment, dynamic map is shown on the display unit of user interface 110.
The function of DSRC modules 104 is in 302 637-2 European Telecommunications Standards Institute (European of ETSI EN Telecommunications Standards Institute, ETSI) specify in standard, herein without being discussed in detail.
Based on dynamic map, the identification of primary processor 102 is around equipment or one or more low signal areas of vehicle.One In embodiment, low signal areas is region or subregion, in region or subregion, through path slave device to another vehicle or traffic Being wirelessly transferred for object is hindered completely or partially, is typically hindered by physical objects.Due between transmission end and receiving terminal NLOS situations, may become poorly efficient by DSRC channels through path transmission signal.Usually cause the barrier bag of NLOS situations Static-obstacle thing, such as building, tree, massif, mountain etc. are included, moving obstacle is further included under certain situation, for example, large-scale or high Big vehicle.As discussed below, barrier may cause various degrees of path loss, can use different path loss Model calculates the path loss values of the point on the dynamic map related with vehicle.
In general, path loss is to be transferred to reception from transmission end as caused by the environmental condition between transmission end and receiving terminal The signal strength loss of the signal experience at end.As described above, the example bag of the environmental condition of a large amount of path losses may be caused Include transmission end to the building between receiving terminal, tree, vehicle, crosspoint and distance etc..In one embodiment, current environmental condition Indicate the object around communication equipment 100.The composition of environment and traffic object can be categorized as different types of on dynamic map Environmental condition.Each type of environmental condition can be by a path loss model table for being used to calculate signal path loss value Show.Every group of program code corresponds to a path loss model, can be stored in memory 108 based on primary processor 102 Calculate path loss values.For example, path loss model A can represent urban environment, and the influence including building;Path loss mould Type B can represent highway environment, and including tall and big or oversize vehicle influence on highway;And path loss module C can represent intersecting environment, and include the influence of building and bridge etc.;May also have and represent other environmental conditions or its combination Other path loss models.
In one embodiment, primary processor 102 is based on the environmental condition indicated on dynamic map, from being stored in memory One or more path loss models are selected in some path loss models in 108.For example, primary processor 102 is based on dynamic The environment in cartographic analysis vehicle periphery region.In one embodiment, peripheral region can be defined as vehicle periphery unit length half The border circular areas in footpath., can for example, if primary processor 102 determines that current environment is the main classes of cities for including building To select path loss model A to calculate path loss values.The example of path loss model can be found in various publication, For example, S.Biddlestone etc. is in December, 2012《IEEE intelligent transportation system transactions》No. 4 1792-1802 of volume 13 " the vehicle of integrated form 802.11p WAVE DSRC and city (LOS and NLOS) propagation model using experimental verification that page is delivered Traffic simulator (An Integrated 802.11p WAVE DSRC and Vehicle Traffic Simulator With Experimentally Validated Urban (LOS and NLOS) Propagation Models) " describe and consider The path loss model for urban environment of effect on building.However, it is understood that the path damage that can be used in present application Consumption model is not limited to any particular path loss model.
After the one or more path loss models of selection, primary processor 102 calculates signal from current vehicle position to dynamic The path loss values of one or more points on state map.Specifically, each path loss values are passed based on two points i.e. signal The position of defeated point and signal receiving point, the parameter and transmission signal strength for representing selected path loss model (transmitted signal strength, TSS) is calculated.Path loss values are institute's transmission signals in signal receiving point Loss value.Therefore, on the current location and dynamic map by inputting communication equipment 100 or vehicle the position of certain point and TSS, it is possible to calculate the loss value in the point.Meanwhile based on path loss values, it can be calculated and believed according to below equation (1) Received signal strength (received signal strength, RSS) value of number receiving point:
RSS=TSS- path losses (1)
Wherein TSS is transmission signal strength.It is consequently possible to calculate each put on from current vehicle position to dynamic map RSS values.
In one embodiment, dynamic map is divided into one or more unit areas by primary processor 102, unit area Size depends on the computing capability of primary processor 102.For example, unit area can be 1 meter of pros for multiplying 1 meter (1x1 square metres) Shape region or the region of different shape or size.For each in these unit areas, selected by primary processor 102 utilizes One or more path loss models for region, based on from the center of unit area to communication equipment 100 or vehicle Distance, calculates RSS values.In one embodiment, primary processor 102 be further used for by based on it is selected for region one A path loss model or some path loss models, calculate the RSS values of each unit area divided on dynamic map, generation Propagate map.
The RSS values calculated are known as weak signal unit area less than the unit area of predetermined threshold.Predetermined threshold can root Adjusted according to transmission signal strength.Primary processor 102 is further used for some weak signal unit areas being classified as in a region. In one embodiment, the weak signal unit area of set is referred to alternatively as related NLOS regions.
Meanwhile NLOS regions are calculated in order to ensure accurate, primary processor 102 is updated in some frequencies propagates map.For example, The frequency of dynamic map renewal can be equal to by propagating the renewal frequency of map, or equal to V2X transmission of news frequencies, such as 10Hz。
In one embodiment, in order to improve the efficiency of primary processor 102, primary processor 102 can only be calculated and closely surrounded RSS values in the region of communication equipment 100 or vehicle generate propagation map.In other words, primary processor 102 is not to calculate RSS Value entirely propagates map to update, and can only renewal close to the propagation map in peripheral region and calculate close in peripheral region The RSS values of corresponding unit area.An example close to peripheral region can be the unit circle with radius.Radius can basis The computing capability of primary processor 102 is adjusted, for example, the computing capability of higher corresponds to the radius of bigger.In one embodiment, it is main The renewal propagation map of processor 102 is equal to what 102 analysis environments of primary processor as described above were based on close to peripheral region Peripheral region.
In one embodiment, in order to further optimize the performance of primary processor 102, primary processor 102 calculates dynamically The RSS values of the unit area overlapping with road generate propagation map on figure, it means that, it is convenient to omit it is overlapping with building The calculating of unit area.
Primary processor 102 can further determine that related NLOS regions based on the traveling situation of vehicle.Traveling situation can be with Including head-on crash warning (front-end collision warning, FCW) application and the warning (rear-end that knocks into the back Collision warning, RCW) application.Subsequent primary processor 102 is based on traveling situation and defines correlation NLOS regions.For example, In FCW applications, those unit areas that primary processor 102 defines vehicle front are correlation NLOS regions;On the other hand, exist In RCW applications, those unit areas that primary processor 102 defines rear view of vehicle are correlation NLOS regions.Traveling application can relate to And primary processor 102 is used for calculating the environment of RSS values.One simple example is when vehicle is in be more likely to that head-on crash occurs Urban environment in when the definition of processor 102 application of advancing applied for FCW, or be more likely to the height that knocks into the back when vehicle is in The definition of processor 102 advances application as RCW applications when in fast highway environment.
