Claim 11:
12. A method of selecting a communication frame format for communication with a given base station, comprising:
computing, for each moving vehicle within a group of moving vehicles associated with the given base station, a separation distance between that moving vehicle and the given base station;
employing communication frame format selection circuitry to determine a selected communication frame format to be used for communication between the given base station and each moving vehicle within the group of moving vehicles, wherein the selected communication frame format is selected from a set of communication frame formats, where the set of communication frame formats comprise communication frame formats defining associated communication frames that differ from each other regarding a proportion of the communication frame available for downlink communication from the given base station to the moving vehicles within the group of moving vehicles; and
determining the selected communication frame format in dependence on the separation distances computed for the moving vehicles within the group of moving vehicles.
