Driving assistance based on road infrastructure information

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a wireless interface which communicates over a wireless channel;
• a position determination system configured to determine a position of the UE;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the wireless interface, position determination system, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
• transmit a request for road infrastructure data, wherein the request includes the position of the UE,
• receiving road infrastructure data associated with at least one road infrastructure element within a proximity of the UE, wherein the a boundary of the proximity exceeds a line of sight of a driver associated with the UE,
• generate a graphical representation of the at least one road infrastructure element along with information associated with the road infrastructure data, wherein the information includes a position of the at least one road infrastructure element, and
• provide the graphical representation to a display.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a network element, a request for road infrastructure data from at least one User Equipment (UE);
• executing a query for road infrastructure data, wherein the road infrastructure data is associated with at least one road infrastructure element within a proximity of the at least one UE, wherein a boundary the proximity exceeds a line of sight of a driver associated with the at least one UE;
• receiving the road infrastructure data in response to the query;
• and
• transmitting the road infrastructure data to the at least one UE in response to the request.
