Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to determine device information associated with the apparatus. The device information identifies at least one channel on which the apparatus is communicating. The at least one channel is a WLAN channel and/or a DSRC channel. The apparatus is configured to transmit a feedback report that includes the device information over a WAN connection.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication by a wireless device, comprising:
- determining device information associated with the wireless device, wherein the device information identifies at least one channel on which the wireless device is communicating, and the at least one channel is a wireless local area network (WLAN) channel or a dedicated short range communications (DSRC) channel;
- and
- transmitting a feedback report that includes the device information over a wide area network (WAN) connection.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a feedback report from a first wireless device, the feedback report indicating a channel on which the first wireless device is communicating, a position of the first wireless device, a speed at which the first wireless device is moving, and a direction in which the first wireless device is moving;
- receiving, from a second wireless device, a request to communicate on a wireless local area network (WLAN) channel or a dedicated short range communications (DSRC) channel;
- allocating a set of channels to the second wireless device based on the received feedback report and the received request;
- and
- transmitting channel status information to the second wireless device that indicates the allocated set of channels.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a wireless device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- determine device information associated with the wireless device, wherein the device information identifies at least one channel on which the wireless device is communicating, and the at least one channel is a wireless local area network (WLAN) channel or a dedicated short range communications (DSRC) channel;
- and
- transmit a feedback report that includes the device information over a wide area network (WAN) connection.
