Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for mitigating channel congestion in inter-vehicle communication. An example vehicle comprising includes a wireless communication module and an intervehicle communication module. The intervehicle communication module forms a communication group with other vehicles based on vehicle characteristics. The intervehicle communication module also monitors network congestion of a first channel. Additionally, in response to detecting network congestion on the first channel, the intervehicle communication module broadcasts a switch message to instruct the other vehicles to switch to a second channel, and broadcasts safety messages on the second channel.

Claim (Index 12):
A system comprising:\n a plurality of vehicles to:\n broadcast safety messages on a first channel; \n monitor network congestion of the first channel; \n in response to detecting network congestion on the first channel, broadcast a switch request message; \n a roadside unit:\n assign a first set of the plurality of vehicles into a first communication group based on a first set of common vehicle characteristics; \n assign a second set of the plurality of vehicles into a second communication group based on a second set of common vehicle characteristics; and \n in response to receiving a threshold number of the switch request messages from different ones of the plurality of vehicles over a threshold period of time, broadcast a directive message to the first set of the plurality of vehicles in the first communication group, the directive message causing the first set of the plurality of vehicles to change parameters of broadcasting the safety messages.
