Claims12
A fixed access point (FAP) of a vehicle communication network, the fixed access point comprising:
- at least one wireless transceiver;
- at least one module, comprising at least a processor and a memory, operable to at least:
- utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to provide communication network infrastructure access to mobile access points of the vehicle communication network;
- receive, for each of a plurality of traffic intersections within communication range of the fixed access point, respective traffic intersection context information from a plurality of mobile access points that have passed through the traffic intersection;
- store the received traffic intersection context information in a memory;
- determine respective road actions for vehicles traveling through each of the plurality of intersections based, at least in part, on the received traffic intersection context information;
- and
- communicate information indicating the determined respective road actions to respective mobile access points of the vehicles.
