Abstract
A method for providing road safety services in a cellular system includes a road safety application forming at least one group including at least one first UE for exchanging information with the road safety application. Road safety information is received in at least one base station or in at least one second UE or in an external processing block connected to the at least one base station or to the at least one second UE and is transmitted to the at least one first UEs within the group. The road safety information is retrieved while using at least one group identifier and a scheduling assignment provided to the at least one first UE by the at least one base station or by the at least one second UE.
Claims31
A method for providing road safety services in a cellular system, comprising:
- forming by a road safety application at least one group comprising at least one first user equipment (UE) and at least one second UE communicating one with another by using a device-to-device (D2D) cellular technology;
- assigning at least one group identifier to the at least one group;
- receiving road safety information in the at least one first UE or in an external processing block connected to the at least one first UE;
- providing to the at least one first UE by a scheduler within the at least one first UE or within the at least one second UE or within at least one base station or by pre-configuring the at least one first UE or a combination thereof, at least one first scheduling assignment of radio resources, for transmitting over a wireless communication channel road safety information;
- providing by a scheduler within the at least one first UE or within the at least one second UE or within the at least one base station or by pre-configuring the at least one second UE or a combination thereof, at least one second scheduling assignment of radio resources for receiving by the at least one group, over the wireless communication channel, the road safety information;
- transmitting by the at least one first UE to the at least one base station or to the at least one group, while using the at least one first scheduling assignment, the road safety information;
- and
- retrieving the road safety information by the at least one base station, while using the at least one second scheduling assignment, or by at least one UE belonging to the at least one group, while using the at least one group identifier and while using the at least one second scheduling assignment.

A user equipment (UE) apparatus for use in a cellular system supporting road safety services and comprising:
- a first interface, configured to establish a first wireless communication channel between the UE apparatus and at least one other user equipment (UE), by using a device-to-device (D2D) cellular technology;
- a second interface, configured to establish a second wireless communication channel between the UE apparatus and at least one base station, by using a cellular technology;
- and
- a processing block configured to transmit road safety information to the at least one other UE or to the at least one base station while using a first scheduling assignment provided by the UE apparatus or provided by the at least one base station or preconfigured or a combination thereof, in a way to be retrieved by the at least one other UE while using at least one group identifier of a group comprising the at least one other UE and formed by a road safety application and while using at least one second scheduling assignment of radio resources, either communicated by the UE apparatus or communicated by the base station or preconfigured or a combination thereof, to be used by the group of at least one other UE for receiving road safety information.

A base station apparatus for use in a cellular system supporting road safety services and comprising:
- an interface, configured to establish a wireless communication channel, by using a cellular technology, between the base station apparatus and at least one user equipment (UE) belonging to at least one group comprising at least one first UE and at least one second UE communicating one with another by using a device-to-device (D2D) cellular technology;
- and
- a processing block configured to provide at least one first scheduling assignment of radio resources to at least one first UE for transmitting road safety information to the base station or to the at least one group over a wireless communication channel, and to provide at least one second scheduling assignment of radio resources to the at least one second UE or to the at least one group for receiving the road safety information transmitted by the at least one first UE, in a way that the road safety information is retrieved by at least one UE belonging to the group while using at least one group identifier assigned to the at least one group by a road safety application and while using the at least one second scheduling assignment of radio resources for the reception of the road safety information.
A user equipment (UE) apparatus for use in a cellular system supporting road safety services and comprising:
- a first interface, configured to establish a first wireless communication channel between the UE apparatus and at least one other user equipment (UE), by using a device-to-device (D2D) cellular technology;
- a second interface, configured to establish a second wireless communication channel between the UE apparatus and at least one base station, by using a cellular technology;
- and
- a processing block configured to receive from the at least one base station or from the at least one other UE or preconfigured or a combination thereof at least one scheduling assignment of resources for receiving road safety information, and to retrieve the road safety information while using at least one group identifier of at least one group, formed by a road safety application, to which the UE apparatus belongs and while using the at least one scheduling assignment of resources.
