Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for transmitting / receiving environment information in a wireless communication system,

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transmitting / receiving environment information in a wireless communication system. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transmitting / receiving environmental information based on a plurality of environmental information sources.

The Internet is an Internet of Things (IoT) network (hereinafter referred to as " IoT ") network in which information is exchanged between distributed components such as objects in a human- . The Internet of Everything (IoE) technology can be an example of the combination of IoT technology with big data processing technology through connection with cloud servers.

In order to implement IoT, technology elements such as sensing technology, wired / wireless communication and network infrastructure, service interface technology and security technology are required. In recent years, sensor network, machine to machine (M2M) communication, hereinafter referred to as "M2M communication"), and MTC (Machine Type Communication).

In the IoT environment, an intelligent IT (Internet Technology) service can be provided that collects and analyzes data generated from connected objects to create new value in human life. IoT can be applied to fields such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, smart grid, health care, smart home appliances and advanced medical service through fusion and combination of existing IT technology and various industries have.

Poor air quality can generally be regarded as a public health problem because long term exposure, for example exposure to polluted air by humans, animals and / or plants, can be harmful. As an example, poor air quality can have a negative impact on human health, such as lung aging can be accelerated, lung capacity reduced and / or lung function impaired; Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema or cancer may occur; And / or the lifetime can be shortened. Vans such as road transport, vehicles such as passenger cars such as motorcycles, automobiles or buses, or heavy trucks, for example, can be serious sources of pollution such as air pollution, greenhouse gases and / or noise pollution. Despite improvements in vehicle efficiency, the automotive sector may still be responsible for a significant portion of the pollution that is caused to the environment. For example, in Europe, road transport or vehicles account for nearly one-fifth of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions, and many European cities suffer from concentrations of air pollutants in excess of European Union standards.

For example, air pollutants from vehicles such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides, along with traffic noise, are considered aspects to be addressed in urban transport systems. Congested urban traffic scenarios such as traffic congestion can be particularly serious and can affect public health in at least two different ways. For example, vulnerable road users (VRUs) in urban traffic, such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycle users, may be located near (or proximity to) vehicle exhausts, The absence of atmospheric filtering systems, such as the indoor atmospheric filtering systems that may be included, can expose them to a relatively high risk of contamination. In one example, vehicle drivers and / or passengers may be exposed intermittently or continuously to relatively high levels of contamination without information on these levels of contamination, and thus may be exposed to corresponding health hazards. Vehicle interior air purification systems and / or indoor air recirculation systems may reduce contamination exposure, but may not be useful or operational in all vehicles.

In addition, current pollution control measures may not be adhered to, for example, in a transportation sector such as automobile manufacturers, and / or may apply only to currently manufactured vehicles. Providing effective solutions to pollution problems can be limited by the complexity of vehicle exhaust gas measurements, and / or current exhaust emission testing schemes may not be efficient. Standardized measurements in the laboratory can generally be used to measure whether vehicles meet regulated limits for exhaust gas, for example, but the official measurement procedure may not represent actual vehicle use, for example, actual driving conditions have.

Thus, there is a need to improve monitoring of the environment, particularly monitoring for pollution from vehicles. On the other hand, the above information is only presented as background information to help understand the present invention. No determination has been made as to whether any of the above content is applicable as prior art to the present invention, nor is any claim made.

That is, in various embodiments of the present invention, when each of the n transmitter devices transmits environment information, the receiver device transmits the first environment information to the nth environment information.

In this manner, the environment information can be shared with other devices by the transmitter device. In this way, vehicle crowd sourcing, e.g., vehicle contaminated crowd sourcing, can be implemented, where the cooperative use of multiple vehicle exhaust gas measurements is shared within the geographical area, for example in the case of vehicle contaminated crowd sourcing, It may be possible to obtain reliable estimates of the air pollution concentration in the areas where the air pollution is not present.

As an example, the transmitter device may be suitable for a vehicle, infrastructure, or pedestrian device, or may be included in a vehicle, infrastructure, or pedestrian device. That is, the transmitter device may be adapted to the source of the contamination to be monitored or may be included in the source of the contamination to be monitored or may be close to the source of the contamination to be monitored. V2X devices also represent any device that can transmit and / or receive V2X messages independent of other features that the V2X devices may have, regardless of the underlying communication technology. The V2X devices include, for example, devices included in infrastructure such as vehicles mounted or modified devices, traffic lights, traffic signs, road gantries, and smart watches, smart phones, , Personal GPS navigation devices, or wearable devices. In an example embodiment, the transmitter device comprises a V2X device. In an exemplary embodiment, the transmitter device is a V2X device. In an exemplary embodiment, the first environment information may be transmitted in a V2X communication.

The transmitter device may be configured to transmit (or transmit) in accordance with a communication protocol (e.g., ETSI Cooperative Awareness Basic Service (EN 302 637-2); SAE J2735 - DSRC Message Set Dictionary) used by the transmitter in a broadcast protocol, Can be controlled. In an example embodiment, the transmitter device controls the transmitter to transmit according to the C-ITS communication protocol. The C-ITS communication protocols may be modified to include the environment information.

The transmitter device may obtain the environmental information from at least one of a sensor, for example, a CO ₂ sensor, an HC sensor, a CO sensor, a PM sensor, a NO _x sensor, an SO ₂ sensor or a noise sensor. The transmitter device may obtain the environmental information directly or indirectly from at least one sensor as described above. In one example, when the transmitter device is included in a vehicle, the transmitter device may obtain the environment information from the vehicle. For example, the transmitter device may be a vehicle engine control unit (ECU), an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) controller area network, CAN) bus or an on-board diagnostics (OBD, hereinafter referred to as "OBD ") port. The transmitter device may include at least one of the sensors as described above.

It should be understood that the transmitter may be a radio transmitter. In an exemplary embodiment, the transmitter includes a wireless transmitter. In an exemplary embodiment, the transmitter is a wireless transmitter. The environment information can be transmitted wirelessly. The environment information may be transmitted using, for example, DSRC access technology based on ETSI ITS-G5 or IEEE 802.11p standards. Wherein the environment information is transmitted by the transmitter device to an ETSI Cooperative Awareness Basic Service (EN 302 637-2); SAE J2735 - can be broadcast as part of a message or message, such as a DSRC Message Set Dictionary. In one example embodiment, the transmitter device controls the transmitter to transmit a message, wherein the message includes the environment information. In one exemplary embodiment, the transmitter device controls the transmitter to periodically transmit a message, wherein the message includes the environment information. As an example, the environment information may be periodically broadcast, for example, every second, every minute, every hour. Further, in an exemplary embodiment, the environment information may be broadcast whenever an event is generated. Here, the event may be implemented in various forms, and may be any case that needs to transmit environment information. Further, in an exemplary embodiment, the environment information may be broadcast non-periodically. In one example embodiment, the transmitter device controls sending the message in response to the transmitter requesting to send a message. The periodicity and / or content, e.g., type or breadth, of the broadcasting of the environment information may be at least one of vehicle speed, proximity of other vehicles and / or road users, location, environment type, priority, Lt; / RTI > In one example, when the transmitter device is included in a vehicle, the environment information may be broadcast below a predetermined speed of the vehicle, such as a typical average vehicle speed in congestion or in urban traffic. For example, when the transmitter device is included in a vehicle, the environment information may be provided to other vehicles and / or road users in proximity to the vehicle, for example, other vehicles and / Lt; / RTI > may be broadcast. As an example, the environmental information may be provided by the vehicle's V2X modem receiving V2X signals from other nearby vehicles or receiving similar information from other on-board sensors, e.g., RADAR, LIDAR, or cameras If so, it can be broadcast. In one example, the transmitter device is included in the vehicle, and the environment information can be broadcast according to map-based location of the vehicle and / or type of environment. In one example, in highway and / or power scenarios, the contamination information may be less relevant, for example, as compared to urban, city, or traffic congestion in the pollution control area. For example, when the transmitter device is included in the vehicle, the environment information may be broadcast according to the C-ITS application priority, and thus the priority of the environment information may be, for example, road traffic and / Can be reduced relative to safety-related information. In one example, when the transmitter device is included in the vehicle, the environment information may be broadcast in response to an external request. As an example, in the pollution control area, the V2X road infrastructure may request that vehicles under running provide the environmental information, and the environmental information may be broadcast in response to the request.

The message may include additional information. In one example, the message may include location information and / or identifier information of the transmitter device. In one example, when the transmitter device is included in a vehicle, the message may include safety-critical or operational information, such as, for example, vehicle speed, vehicle position, vehicle acceleration, vehicle direction and / or physical vehicle parameters . Such safety critical or operational information may be used, for example, to support C-ITS applications, prevent vehicle collisions, improve transport efficiency and / or comfort, and / or provide cooperative driving (i.e., vehicle platooning) ). In one example, the message may include atmospheric and / or weather related information such as temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, or altitude. Additionally and / or alternatively, atmospheric and / or weather related information may be obtained from other providers such as the Internet.

It should be understood that the general communication range of the DSRC is based on the above application and / or environment and can be up to 300 - 500 meters. Generally, C-ITS applications can be designed for all technologies, so that the environment information can be stored in a cellular LTE Device-to-Device (D2D) and / , Or for a V2X such as a 5th generation ( ^5TH generation: 5G, hereinafter referred to as " 5G ").

A second aspect of the present invention provides a receiver device comprising a receiver;

Wherein the receiver device controls the receiver to receive the first environment information and the second environment information,

The receiver device combines the first environment information and the second environment information.

As described above, the first environment information indicates the environment information transmitted by the first transmitter device, and the second environment information indicates the environment information transmitted by the second transmitter device.

Y) (Y), Z (z), and buoyancy Gaussian air-pollution dispersion plume, the effective stack height (H) is described as an example. However, It should be noted that the key parameters used in many dispersion models useful for doing so are not limited thereto.

Can be given as: < RTI ID = 0.0 >

In this equation, the receiver device 20 derives the following parameters from: < RTI ID = 0.0 >

Pollution Emission Rate Q [g / s] - a value periodically received from the transmitter device 10;

The average wind speed u [m / s] - the contaminated vehicle speed vector (speed and direction information), the vehicle emission speed (which can be a specific vehicle and can be transmitted as part of the V2X messages, or some representative default value Can be used), and a natural standby wind vector (if necessary);

[m] - 특정 차량이 될 수 있고, V2X 메시지들의 파트로서 송신될 수 있고, 혹은 간략성을 위해 일부 대표적인 디폴트 값이 사용될 수 있다. Y and Z direction plume standard deviation

[m] - can be a specific vehicle, can be sent as part of V2X messages, or some representative default values can be used for simplicity.

Although a dispersion model has been described, it will be appreciated that any dispersion model for fixed sources, e.g. fixed point sources, or non-stationary sources, e.g., non-stationary point sources, can be used.
