Communication device, control component, mobile station, vehicle system, method and computer program for configuring local wire-free communication between the communication device and a mobile device close to a vehicle

A network controller of a mobile radio system for configuring local wireless communication between a communication device of a vehicle and a first mobile device or between the first mobile device and a second mobile device of a mobile radio system that are proximate to the vehicle, the network controller comprising:

• a transceiver configured for communication with a communication device of the mobile radio system;
• a processor for controlling the transceiver, wherein the processor is coupled to the transceiver, and wherein the processor is further configured to:
• communicate with the mobile radio system in a first frequency band to obtain a configuration of a second frequency band of the mobile radio system for the local wireless communication for use of the communication device of the vehicle with the first mobile device of the second mobile device proximate to the vehicle or between the first and the second mobile devices proximate to the vehicle, wherein the second frequency band is an unused mobile frequency band;
• receive a confirmation of an allocation of the second frequency band from a control component of the mobile radio system wherein resources of the second frequency band are configured to match a data rate and/or a quality of service (QoS) of an intended application;
• communicate the obtained configuration of the second frequency band to the first mobile device and/or the second mobile device of the mobile radio system for local wireless communication;
• and
• forward the obtained configuration for the local wireless communication in the second frequency band to the first mobile device or the second mobile device proximate to the vehicle, the proximate to the vehicle being between 350 and 700 meters of the vehicle,
• wherein the first frequency band and the second frequency band are configured for bidirectional communication, and
• wherein the bidirectional communication comprises at least an encryption function.

A method for a communication device of a vehicle for configuring local wireless communication between the communication device and a first mobile device proximate to the vehicle, or the first mobile device and a second mobile device of a mobile radio system that are proximate to the vehicle, the method comprising:

• communicating with the mobile radio system in a first frequency band for obtaining configuration of a second frequency band of the mobile radio system for the local wireless communication, wherein the second frequency band is an unoccupied cellular mobile radio frequency band;
• receiving a confirmation of an allocation of the second frequency band from a control component of the mobile radio system wherein resources of the second frequency band are configured to match a data rate and/or a quality of service (QoS) of an intended application;
• communicating the obtained configuration of the second frequency band to the first mobile device and/or the second mobile device of the mobile radio system for local wireless communication;
• and
• communicating with the first mobile device or the second mobile device using the configuration of the second frequency band for the local wireless communication proximate to the vehicle, the proximate to the vehicle being between 350 and 700 meters of the vehicle,
• wherein connections in the first frequency band and the second frequency band are configured for bidirectional communication, and
• wherein the bidirectional communication comprises at least an encryption function.

A method for a processor of a mobile radio system for configuring local wireless communication between a communication device of vehicle and a first mobile device proximate to the vehicle, or between the first mobile device and a second mobile device of the mobile radio system that are proximate to the vehicle, the method comprising:

• communicating in a first frequency band in the mobile radio system for obtaining configuration of a second frequency band of the mobile radio system for the local wireless communication of the communication device of the vehicle with the first mobile device or between the first and the second mobile devices, wherein the second frequency band is an unused mobile frequency band;
• receiving a confirmation of an allocation of the second frequency band from a control component of the mobile radio system wherein resources of the second frequency band are configured to match a data rate and/or a quality of service (QoS) of an intended application;
• communicating the obtained configuration of the second frequency band to the first mobile device and/or the second mobile device of the mobile radio system for local wireless communication;
• and
• communicating with the first mobile device or the second mobile device using the configuration of the second frequency band for the local wireless communication proximate to the vehicle, the proximate to the vehicle being between 350 and 700 meters of the vehicle,
• wherein connections in the first frequency band and the second frequency band are configured for bidirectional communication, and
• wherein the bidirectional communication comprises at least an encryption function.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:

• communicate in a first frequency band in a mobile radio system for obtaining configuration of a second frequency band of the mobile radio system for local wireless communication of a communication device of a vehicle with a first mobile device, or between the first mobile device and a second mobile device, wherein the first mobile device or the second mobile device is proximate to the vehicle, wherein the second frequency band is an unoccupied cellular mobile radio frequency band;
• receive an allocation of the second frequency band from the control component of the mobile radio system wherein resources of the second frequency band are configured to match a data rate and/or a quality of service (QoS) of an intended application;
• communicate the obtained configuration of the second frequency band to the first mobile device and/or the second mobile device of the mobile radio system for local wireless communication;
• and
• communicate with the first mobile device or the second mobile device using the configuration of the second frequency band for the local wireless communication proximate to the vehicle, the proximate to the vehicle being between 350 and 700 meters of the vehicle,
• wherein connections in the first frequency band and the second frequency band are configured for bidirectional communication, and
• wherein the bidirectional communication comprises at least an encryption function.
