Claim 18:
19. A computer implemented method for message sender identification of a connected element of a road traffic network, the method comprising:
receiving, at a processing component of a vehicle, from one or more connected elements of the road traffic network, one or more messages, the one or more messages comprising position information for the one or more connected elements;
generating, by a processing component of a connected vehicle, a message-based hyper-graph based on the positions of connected elements of the road traffic network as communicated to the vehicle by the connected elements, wherein the connected elements correspond to nodes of the message-based hyper-graph;
generating, by the processing component, a perception based hyper-graph based on the perceived positions of at least a subset of the elements of the road traffic network as determined by a sensor of the vehicle, wherein the at least a subset of the elements of the road traffic network correspond to nodes of the perception-based hyper-graph; and
matching a node of the message-based hyper-graph to a corresponding node of the perception-based hyper-graph.
