Abstract
A method at a network element within a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communications Domain, the method including receiving a tracking request at the network element for a target vehicle, the tracking request including identifying information for the target vehicle; creating a target vehicle list based on the tracking request; distributing the target vehicle list to at least one V2X endpoint; receiving at least one sighting report from the at least one V2X endpoint; and forwarding the at least one sighting report to a second network element.
Claims20
A method at a network element within a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communications Domain, the method comprising:
- receiving a tracking request at the network element from a law enforcement monitoring facility for a target vehicle, the tracking request including identifying information for the target vehicle;
- creating a target vehicle list based on the tracking request, the target vehicle list having linkage values or hashed values of certificates issued to the target vehicle;
- and
- distributing the target vehicle list to at least one V2X endpoint, wherein the distributing is limited to a geographic region, and wherein the at least one V2X endpoint comprises exclusively authorized vehicles and roadside units within the geographic region.
A network element within a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communications Domain, the network element comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem,
- wherein the network element is configured to:
- receive a tracking request at the network element from a law enforcement monitoring facility for a target vehicle, the tracking request including identifying information for the target vehicle;
- create a target vehicle list based on the tracking request, the target vehicle list having linkage values or hashed values of certificates issued to the target vehicle;
- and
- distribute the target vehicle list to at least one V2X endpoint, wherein the network element is configured to distribute to a limited geographic region, and wherein the at least one V2X endpoint comprises exclusively authorized vehicles and roadside units within the limited geographic region.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing instruction code, which, when executed by a processor of a network element within a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communications Domain cause the network element to:
- receive a tracking request at the network element from a law enforcement monitoring facility for a target vehicle, the tracking request including identifying information for the target vehicle;
- create a target vehicle list based on the tracking request, the target vehicle list having linkage values or hashed values of certificates issued to the target vehicle;
- and
- distribute the target vehicle list to at least one V2X endpoint, wherein the network element is configured to distribute to a limited geographic region, and wherein the at least one V2X endpoint comprises exclusively authorized vehicles and roadside units within the limited geographic region.
