Assignee: AIRSPAN IP HOLDCO LLC
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
computation circuitry to compute, for each moving vehicle within a group of moving vehicles associated with a given base station, a separation distance between that moving vehicle and the given base station; and
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,
wherein the communication frame format selection circuitry is arranged to determine the selected communication frame format in dependence on the separation distances computed by the computation circuitry for the moving vehicles within the group of moving vehicles.
