Early traffic event driver notification

A method for a network node configured to communicate with a set of wireless devices (WDs) including at least a first WD configured to detect a traffic event and a group of other WDs, the method including:

• determining a space corresponding to the first WD, the determined space having at least a dynamic dimension based at least on a vehicle traffic factor of a plurality of vehicle traffic factors associated with the first WD;
• determining that each of the WDs of the group of other WDs is within the space corresponding to the first WD;
• receiving a first message from the first WD, the first message being associated with the traffic event detected by the first WD;
• transmitting a second message to each of the WDs of the group of other WDs based in part on the traffic event detected by the first WD;
• establishing a connection between the first WD and each of the WDs of the group of other WDs;
• determining whether a latency of the established connection exceeds a predetermined latency threshold;
• and
• when the latency exceeds the predetermined latency threshold, adjusting the latency at least by transmitting a heartbeat signal every time a predetermined interval of time has elapsed.

A second wireless device (WD) configured to communicate with a network node, a first WD configured to detect a traffic event, and a group of other WDs, the second WD comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• receive a second message based in part on the traffic event detected by the first WD and a relative position at least between the first WD and the second WD;
• perform an action in response to the received second message;
• establishing a connection between the second WD and at least the first WD;
• and
• when a latency of the established connection exceeds a predetermined latency threshold, receiving a heartbeat signal, the heartbeat signal being transmitted every time a predetermined interval of time has elapsed,
• wherein the first WD and the second WD are located within a space corresponding to the first WD.
