An interface controller operates as a gateway between the cellular network and the V2X communication network. A vehicle includes a transceiver for V2X communication. The transceiver provides for V2I communication over a V2X communication network with transportation infrastructure in accordance with a subscription level defining a level of access of the vehicle to a cellular network, and also provides for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication over the V2X communication network with other vehicles in accordance with the subscription level. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: transportation infrastructure configured to provide for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication over a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication network with a V2X transceiver of a vehicle in accordance with a subscription level defining a level of access of the vehicle to data services of a cellular network; and an interface controller configured to operate as a gateway between the cellular network and the V2X communication network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the V2I communication is provided using one or more of Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) protocol or 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Mode4 side-link. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the subscription level includes one of: (i) a first level in which public safety information and critical information are available for receipt by the vehicle but not data services requested by the vehicle; (ii) a second level in which the information at the first level is available with the data services at a first resource allocation; and (iii) a third level in which the information at the first level is available with the data services at a second resource allocation, the second resource allocation being greater than the first resource allocation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the resource allocation includes one or more of a bandwidth size for the communication, a power level for the communication, or a data priority for the communication. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the data services include sensor information from a second vehicle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the data services include environmental information to improve adjustments made by the vehicle to road conditions. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the data services include streaming media. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the transportation infrastructure is further configured to receive subscription information defining the subscription level for the vehicle from the cellular network. ### Claim 9 A system comprising: a vehicle including a transceiver for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the transceiver configured to provide for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication over a V2X communication network with transportation infrastructure in accordance with a subscription level defining a level of access of the vehicle to a cellular network, and provide for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication over the V2X communication network with other vehicles in accordance with the subscription level. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the vehicle is further configured to provide for communication over the cellular network in accordance with the subscription level. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the V2X communication, including the V2I communication, is provided using one or more of Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) protocol or 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Mode4 side-link. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the subscription level includes one of: (i) a first level in which a base level of information is available for receipt by the vehicle but not data services requested by the vehicle; (ii) a second level in which the information at the first level is available with the data services at a first resource allocation; and (iii) a third level in which the information at the first level is available with the data services at a second resource allocation, the second resource allocation being greater than the first resource allocation. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the resource allocation includes one or more of a bandwidth size for the communication, a power level for the communication, or a data priority for the communication. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the data services include receipt of sensor information from a second vehicle, and the vehicle is configured to utilize the sensor information to provide route suggestions optimized to reduce one or more of travel time or fuel consumption. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the data services include receipt of environmental information, and the vehicle is configured to utilize the environmental information to improve adjustments made by the vehicle to road conditions. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the data services include receipt of streaming media entertainment. ### Claim 17 A method comprising: registering an initial subscription level of a vehicle to a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication network, the subscription level defining a level of access of the vehicle to data services of a cellular network; sending control parameters for the vehicle to network elements of the V2X communication network to implement the level of access; and responsive to a change in the subscription level of the vehicle to the cellular network updating the level of access, sending updated control parameters for the vehicle to the network elements to implement the updated level of access. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein the vehicle is assigned a randomized media access control (MAC) address for anonymity, and further comprising verifying the MAC address corresponds to the vehicle. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein, for the initial subscription level, a base level of information is available for receipt by the vehicle but not data services requested by the vehicle, and, for the updated level of access, the information at the initial subscription level is available along with the data services. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the updated level of access is received from the cellular network and indicates a resource allocation for communication by the vehicle over the V2X communication network, the resource allocation specifying one or more of a bandwidth size for the communication, a power level for the communication, and a data priority for the communication.
