Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for storing and deleting received data packets over combined vehicular and wireless communications networks. In one example, an apparatus in a vehicular communication network may receive a data packet and may determine whether to store or delete the received data packet based on a ratio of distances between the data packet and its destination address as well as the data packet's source address and its destination address.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a first data packet at a vehicle in a vehicular network;
- determining a first distance between the vehicle and a destination of the first data packet;
- determining a second distance between a source of the first data packet and the destination of the first data packet;
- determining a first ratio between the first distance and the second distance;
- and
- deleting the first data packet if the first ratio exceeds a threshold ratio value.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving a first data packet at a vehicle in a vehicular network;
- means for determining a first distance between the vehicle and a destination of the first data packet;
- means for determining a second distance between a source of the first data packet and the destination of the first data packet;
- means for determining a first ratio between the first distance and the second distance;
- and
- means for deleting the first data packet if the first ratio exceeds a threshold ratio value.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- receive a first data packet at a vehicle in a vehicular network;
- determine a first distance between the vehicle and a destination of the first data packet;
- determine a second distance between a source of the first data packet and the destination of the first data packet;
- determine a first ratio between the first distance and the second distance;
- and
- delete the first data packet if the first ratio exceeds a threshold ratio value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication, the code executable by a processor to:
- receive a first data packet at a vehicle in a vehicular network;
- determine a first distance between the vehicle and a destination of the first data packet;
- determine a second distance between a source of the first data packet and the destination of the first data packet;
- determine a first ratio between the first distance and the second distance;
- and
- delete the first data packet if the first ratio exceeds a threshold ratio value.
