Abstract
A method for predicting channel load. The method includes determining a first channel quality information (CQI) associated with a location and a first time point, predicting traffic flow data associated with the location and a second time point subsequent to the first time point, predicting a second CQI associated with the location and the second time point based on the first CQI and the predicted traffic flow, and selectively transmitting a message comprising the second CQI, the location, and the second time point to at least one transportation vehicle based on the second CQI. Also disclosed is a transportation vehicle and a road side unit (RSU) for performing the method.
Claims15
A method for predicting channel load, the method comprising:
- determining a first channel quality information (CQI) associated with a location and a first time point;
- predicting traffic flow data associated with the location and a second time point subsequent to the first time point;
- predicting a second CQI associated with the location and the second time point based on the first CQI and the predicted traffic flow;
- and
- selectively transmitting a message comprising the second CQI, the location, and the second time point to at least one transportation vehicle based on the second CQI.
A transportation vehicle comprising:
- a communication module to communicate with another transportation vehicle and with a station of a communication network;
- a plurality of first sensors for detecting a propagation direction and/or velocity of another transportation vehicle;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine a first channel quality information (CQI) associated with a location and a first time point, predict traffic flow data associated with the location and a second time point subsequent to the first time point, predict a second CQI associated with the location and the second time point based on the first CQI and the predicted traffic flow, and selectively transmit a message comprising the second CQI, the location, and the second time point to at least one transportation vehicle based on the second CQI.
A road side unit comprising:
- a communication module configured to communicate with a transportation vehicle and with another station of a communication network;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine a first channel quality information (CQI) associated with a location and a first time point, predict traffic flow data associated with the location and a second time point subsequent to the first time point, predict a second CQI associated with the location and the second time point based on the first CQI and the predicted traffic flow, and selectively transmit a message comprising the second CQI, the location, and the second time point to at least one transportation vehicle based on the second CQI.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer program comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by a control unit of a transportation vehicle, cause the control unit to determine a first channel quality information(CQI) associated with a location and a first time point, predict traffic flow data associated with the location and a second time point subsequent to the first time point, predict a second CQI associated with the location and the second time point based on the first CQI and the predicted traffic flow, and selectively transmit a message comprising the second CQI, the location, and the second time point to at least one transportation vehicle based on the second CQI.
