Abstract
An embodiment of the present specification provides a TCU mounted in a vehicle. The TCU comprises: a plurality of transmission and reception units comprising one or more antennas; and a processor for controlling the plurality of transmission and reception units. The processor can carry out the steps of: receiving channel state information with respect to a wireless channel; determining a maximum data rate available for data transmission with respect to the base station; determining a data rate of at least one camera and a data rate of at least one sensor; and receiving camera data from the at least one camera and receiving sensor data from the at least one sensor.
Claims13
A Telematics Communication Unit (TCU) configured to be mounted on a vehicle, the TCU comprising:
- a plurality of transceivers including one or more antennas;
- and
- a processor for controlling the plurality of transceivers,
- wherein the processor is configured to perform operations that include:
- controlling the plurality of transceivers to receive, from a base station, channel state information on a radio channel between the TCU and the base station;
- determining a maximum data rate available for data transmission to the base station based on the received channel state information;
- determining a data rate of at least one camera mounted on the vehicle and a data rate of at least one sensor mounted on the vehicle;
- wherein the data rate of the at least one camera and the data rate of the at least one sensor are determined based on the determined maximum data rate and priorities for the at least one camera and the at least one sensor;
- and
- controlling the plurality of transceivers to receive camera data from the at least one camera based on the data rate of the at least one camera, and to receive sensor data from the at least one sensor based on the data rate of the at least one sensor.
A server that controls a TCU (Telematics Communication Unit) Telematics Communication Unit (TCU) configured to be mounted on a vehicle in a next-generation mobile communication system, the server comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor for controlling the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to perform operations that include:
- receiving, by the TCU, a pilot signal transmitted to a base station from a mobile communication network including the base station;
- determining state information on a radio channel between the TCU and the base station based on the received pilot signal;
- transmitting the determined state information on the radio channel to the mobile communication network including the base station;
- receiving camera data and sensor data transmitted by the TCU from the mobile communication network including the base station;
- generating control data for controlling driving of the vehicle based on the camera data and the sensor data;
- and
- receiving information on a data rate of at least one camera mounted on the vehicle and a data rate of at least one sensor mounted on the vehicle.
