Abstract
There is provided a solution for handling vehicle-to-everything messages in an access node of a cellular communication system. According to an aspect, a method comprises: processing, by the access node, cellular access messages according to a cellular communication protocol stack and delivering, by the access node, the cellular access messages between a terminal device and a core network of the cellular communication system; and processing, by the access node, vehicle-to-everything messages according to a sidelink communication protocol stack of vehicle-to-everything communications and delivering, by the access node, the vehicle-to-everything messages between at least one vehicular terminal device and an application server.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including a computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to:
- process cellular access messages in an access node of a cellular communication system according to a cellular communication protocol stack and to deliver the cellular access messages between a terminal device and a core network of the cellular communication system;
- and
- process broadcast vehicle-to-vehicle messages in the access node according to a sidelink communication protocol stack of vehicle-to-everything communications and to deliver the vehicle-to-vehicle messages between at least one vehicular terminal device and the access node using the sidelink communication protocol stack and between the access node and an application server using a second protocol stack.
A method comprising:
- processing, by an access node of a cellular communication system, cellular access messages according to a cellular communication protocol stack and delivering, by the access node, the cellular access messages between a terminal device and a core network of the cellular communication system;
- and
- processing, by the access node, broadcast vehicle-to-vehicle messages according to a sidelink communication protocol stack of vehicle-to-everything communications and delivering, by the access node, the vehicle-to-vehicle messages between at least one vehicular terminal device and the access node using the sidelink communication protocol stack and between the access node and an application server using a second protocol stack.
A computer program stored in a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer program code configures the computer, when executed by the computer, to carry out a computer process comprising:
- processing, in an access node of a cellular communication system, cellular access messages according to a cellular communication protocol stack and delivering the cellular access messages between a terminal device and a core network of the cellular communication system;
- and
- processing, in the access node, broadcast vehicle-to-vehicle messages according to a sidelink communication protocol stack of vehicle-to-everything communications and delivering the vehicle-to-vehicle messages between at least one vehicular terminal device and the access node using the sidelink communication protocol stack and between the access node and an application server using a second protocol stack.
