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 8):
