Patent ID: 11706831

Abstract:
A wireless device (100) is configured for dual mode V2X communications over multiple short range radio interfaces. The wireless device (100) is configured to transmit ITS messages over a first short range radio interface configured to operate according to a first communication standard (e.g. PC5 or IEEE 802.11p), and to receive ITS messages over both the first short range radio interface and a second short radio interface configured to operate according to a second communication standard. Implementing the transmitter chain of only one technology, either PC5 or IEEE 802.11p, at each wireless device (100) reduces complexity and mitigates co-channel and adjacent channel interference that is caused by uncoordinated and concurrent transmissions of different technologies from the same wireless device. Implementing receiver chains for both PC5 and 802.11p allows the wireless device (100) to receive signals in the ITS frequency band regardless of which technology the transmitting device is using.
