Abstract
In one embodiment, a road side unit (RSU) establishes a data offload session with a vehicle in the vicinity of the RSU based on a session establishment request sent by the vehicle, and stores data received from the vehicle during the data offload session in its memory. The RSU generates storage record information (including identifying information for the RSU) for the stored data, and transmits the storage record information to the vehicle.
Claims25
A road side unit (RSU) comprising:
- memory;
- and
- a processor comprising circuitry to:
- establish a data offload session with a vehicle in the vicinity of the RSU based on a session establishment request sent by the vehicle;
- store data received from the vehicle during the data offload session in the memory, the data comprising sensor data for one or more sensors coupled to the vehicle;
- generate storage record information for the data stored in the memory, the storage record information comprising identifying information for the RSU;
- and
- cause the storage record information to be transmitted to the vehicle.
At least one machine accessible storage medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed on a machine, cause the machine to:
- process a session establishment request sent by a vehicle in the vicinity of a road side unit (RSU);
- establish a data offload session between the vehicle and the RSU based on the session establishment request;
- store data received from the vehicle during the data offload session in a memory coupled to the RSU, the data comprising sensor data for one or more sensors coupled to the vehicle;
- generate storage record information for the stored data, the storage record information comprising identifying information for the RSU;
- and
- cause the storage record information to be transmitted to the vehicle.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a road side unit (RSU), a session establishment request from a vehicle in the vicinity of the RSU;
- establishing a data offload session between the vehicle and the RSU based on the session establishment request;
- receiving data from the vehicle during the data offload session, the data comprising sensor data for one or more sensors coupled to the vehicle;
- storing the data in a memory coupled to the RSU;
- generating storage record information for the stored data, the storage record information comprising identifying information for the RSU;
- and
- transmitting the storage record information from the RSU to the vehicle.
A road side unit (RSU) comprising:
- a clock;
- and
- a processor comprising circuitry to:
- continuously synchronize the clock based on a time maintained by a universal clock communicably coupled to the RSU;
- and
- generate, in response to an on-demand request from a vehicle in the vicinity of the RSU, a time synchronization signal to synchronize a clock of the vehicle with the clock of the RSU;
- and
- cause the time synchronization signal to be transmitted to the vehicle.
