## Abstract

A road-side unit (RSU) device receives a first request from a vehicle that moves along a travel path. The vehicle includes an edge device. A second request is communicated to an inference server based on the received first request. The second request includes an input feature corresponding to sensing information of the vehicle. A response is received from the inference server based on the communicated second request. The response includes wireless connectivity enhanced information including specific initial access information, and the specific initial access information enables the RSU devices to bypass an initial access search on the RSU device, and direct at least one specific beam of radio frequency (RF) signal to the edge device of the vehicle based on the wireless connectivity enhanced information.
