Definitions

  • Wireless communication and in particular, a method, wireless device, and network node for configuring routing of messages in a communication network.
  • Some applications enabled by Rel-12 LTE are device discovery, where devices are able to sense the proximity of another device and associated application by broadcasting and detecting discovery messages that carry device and application identities.
  • Another application consists of direct communication based on physical channels terminated directly between devices.
  • D2D communications enable devices in the proximity of each other to communicate in a peer-to-peer (direct) fashion rather than communicating through some wireless access point or base station.

  • D2D operation by a wireless device is in a half-duplex mode, i.e., the wireless device can either transmit D2D signals/channels or receive D2D signals/channels.
  • D2D relay wireless devices may relay some signals to other D2D wireless devices.
  • control information for D2D communication some of which is transmitted by D2D wireless devices and the other can be transmitted by network nodes such as a base station such as an evolved Node B (eNB) (e.g., D2D resource grants for D2D communication transmitted via cellular downlink control channels).
  • eNB evolved Node B

  • D2D operation is a generic term which may include transmission and/or reception of any type of D2D signals (e.g., physical signals, physical channel, etc.) by a D2D communication capable wireless device and/or by a D2D discovery capable wireless device. D2D operation is therefore also called as D2D transmission, D2D reception, D2D communication, etc.

  • INC Network Coverage
  • D2D wireless devices are under the full coverage of one or more network nodes.
  • the D2D wireless devices are able to receive signals from and/or transmit signals to at least one network node.

  • V2x communication may take advantage of a network (NW) infrastructure, when available, but at least basic V2x connectivity should be possible even in case of a lack of coverage.
  • NW network
  • Providing an LTE -based V2x interface may be economically advantageous because of the LTE economies of scale and it may enable tighter integration between communications with the NW infrastructure, i.e., V2I, V2P and V2V communications, as compared to using a dedicated V2x technology.
  • V2x communications may carry both non-safety and safety information, where each of the applications and services may be associated with specific requirements sets, e.g., in terms of latency, reliability, capacity, etc.
  • Telecommunications Standard Institute ETSI has defined two types of messages for road safety: Co-operative Awareness Message (CAM) and Decentralized
  • V2V operation may support higher speeds compared to legacy cellular devices. An absolute speed of 250 km/h and a relative speed of 500 km/h are expected to be supported. Unlike legacy devices, V2V devices are fast moving, and the operating scenario can be quite dense. As V2V is based on ProSe/D2D technology, V2V is expected to operate in both in-coverage and out-of-network coverage. It can operate on a dedicated spectrum or it can operate with a shared spectrum. In the first case, a spectrum which is strictly assigned to V2V operation is used while in the second case the spectrum may be shared between several other technologies. In an example, the LTE uplink spectrum could be shared between LTE uplink and V2V. In a second example, the spectrum could be shared between unlicensed technology (e.g., IEEE 802.11 WAVE, 802.1 lp) and V2V.

  • the information provided over the sidelink in V2V communication may include, for example:
  • Forward collision warning may indicate to the driver that a car in front of him/her is decelerating abruptly, and this indication gives the driver more time to react to avoid hitting the rear of the car in front.
  • Blind spot warning, lane change warning and do-not-pass warnings may indicate to the driver that it is unsafe to, for example, overtake a car.
  • These messages are also known as CAM and/or DENM messages. These are described in greater detail below.
  • ITS Intelligent Traffic System
  • RAN Radio Access Network
  • CBR channel busy ratio
  • V2x Vehicle-to-anything
  • CAMs Cooperative Awareness Messages
  • CAMs are intended to enable vehicles, including emergency vehicles, to notify their presence and other relevant parameters in a broadcast fashion. Such messages target other vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructures, and are handled by their applications. CAM messages also serve as active assistance to safety driving for normal traffic.
  • the content of CAM will depend on the device type. Typical contents may include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • the purpose of exchanging CAMs is to inform other vehicles of the presence, type, and status of the vehicle.
  • the received information can be used by the wireless device in several ways. For example, the wireless device could compare the status of the received vehicle with its own, it can use this information to estimate the collision risk with the received wireless device, or it can use the received information directly or indirectly in other applications or services in the vehicle. By comparing or correlating the received information to its own information or to some predefined thresholds or rules, the criticality of the information can be determined.
  • the triggering conditions for CAM generation can depend on various reasons.
  • the triggering can be based on whether the time elapsed since the time of the last CAM generation is equal to or greater than a decentralized congestion control (DCC) interval, and can also be related to changes in wireless device dynamics.
  • DCC decentralized congestion control
  • Some non-limiting examples of wireless device dynamics are whether the distance between the current position of the wireless device and the position included in the previous CAM message exceeds 4 m, whether the difference between the current direction the wireless device is heading in and the direction the wireless device was heading in in a previous CAM exceeds 4 degrees, and whether the difference between the current speed of the wireless device and the speed of the wireless device in a previous CAM exceeds 0.5 m/s.
  • a second triggering condition requires that the time elapsed since the last CAM generation is equal to or greater than a certain a certain threshold (e.g.,
  • T GenCAM T GenCAM
  • CAM generation interval is specified using a threshold (e.g.,
  • T GenCam DCC The value range of T GenCam DCC can be, for example, limited to 100 ms ⁇ T_GenCam_DCC ⁇ 1000 ms. Decentralized Environmental Notification Messages
  • Decentralized Environmental Notification Messages are event- triggered messages that are disseminated to other V2V wireless devices in its proximity (also known as relevance area).
  • the size and the shape of the relevance area may depend on the event type and the event location. For example, if the event location is very close to the receiving wireless device location, then the relevance area may be large.
  • the DENM messages may include at least the following:
  • the receiving wireless device may use the positioning information in received DENM message to compare to its own position which may already be known, and from this comparison it can find out the criticality or the relevance of the
  • the received/reported event may combine the received positioning information with the relevance area information with its own wireless device information to better determine the criticality of the event.
  • Some non-limiting examples of events that may trigger the DENM messages are: accidents, roadworks, adverse weather condition, vehicle breakdown, collision risk, etc.
  • the DENM transmissions can be repeated over time as long the event is present.
  • Congestion in the 5.9 GHz ITS band may prevent wireless devices from sending critical information such as a Forward Collision Warning.
  • critical information such as a Forward Collision Warning.
  • drivers do not get warned and the risk for rear collisions increases due to shortened reaction time. Instead of being given an early warning, the driver will have to find out for themselves that cars in front of him/her are decelerating abruptly. This may result in leading drivers to believe that the ITS is unreliable.
  • the DENM messages which are event-triggered can contain critical information related to the safety of the vehicles. Therefore, if these messages are not sent and received successfully within a certain time limit, the result may lead to serious consequences.

  • the mapping does not have to be linear with respect to the measured load conditions.

It can be reasonable to assume that DENM messages are more critical than CAM messages since they are event- triggered, i.e., something has happened on the road or in the vehicle.
