Claim:
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) implemented on a motor vehicle to receive signals from a network, the method comprising: receiving a decoding unit, from the network, by multiple distributed units (DUs) independently having decoding capability and distributed within the motor vehicle; decoding the decoding unit, at each of the multiple DUs; reporting, by each of the multiple DUs, first information on a result of the decoding comprising reliability information of the decoding unit to a central unit (CU) controlling the multiple DUs; determining, at the CU, a minimum amount of traffic to be received through communication means in the motor vehicle from each of the multiple DUs based on the reliability information; reporting, by each of the multiple DUs, second information on the decoding result having the determined minimum amount of traffic to the CU; and determining, at the CU, decoded bit values of the decoding unit based on the second information, wherein the multiple DUs have a hierarchical structure such that one or more DUs among the multiple DUs are main DUs, each of the main DUs being connected to one or more sub DUs.
