Abstract
Proxy coordinated wireless communication operation is described for vehicular environments. In one example, a first user equipment receives a proxy operation authorization from a vehicular environment proximity services function for the first user equipment to operate as a Proxy for the proximity services function. The first user equipment then controls configuration information of other user equipment. The first user equipment also controls the vehicular environment operation mode used by the other user equipment.
Claims20
A tangible, non-transient, machine-readable medium having instructions thereon that when executed by the machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a proxy operation authorization at a first user equipment (UE) from a vehicle to anything (V2X) proximity services (ProSe) function for the first UE to operate as a Proxy UE for the ProSe function, to control other UEs, including configuring V2X operating mode of other UEs or updating V2X operational parameters of other UEs, as authorized by the ProSe function;
- controlling configuration information of the other UEs, by the first UE;
- controlling by the first UE a V2X operation mode of at least one of the other UEs.
Processing circuitry of a vehicle to anything (V2X) user equipment (UE) in a vehicular environment, the processing circuitry to:
- detect the presence of a Proxy user equipment (UE) that can control other UEs, including configuring V2X operating mode of other UEs or updating V2X operational parameters of other UEs, as authorized by a ProSe function, by the V2X UE;
- request, by the V2X UE, the V2X Proxy UE to update V2X operation parameters of the V2X UE, and
- if the V2X Proxy UE authorizes the new requested configuration, the V2X UE receiving updated operation parameters for V2X from the V2X Proxy UE.
An apparatus comprising:
- control logic of a vehicular user equipment (UE) to generate a registration request to operate as a vehicle to anything (V2X) proxy, to control other UEs, including configuring V2X operating mode of other UEs or updating V2X operational parameters of other UEs, as authorized by a ProSe function;
- and
- signaling logic coupled to the control logic to send the registration request to an enhanced node B (eNB) and to receive a response including an authorized V2X proxy configuration from the enB.
