Abstract:
A communication apparatus for inter-vehicular communication according to the present invention includes: a network state estimating unit configured to estimate network state information indicating a current network state based on driving information and channel state information of neighboring vehicles; a network access controller configured to control whether to transmit a message based on the network state information; a transmission scheduler configured to control a transmission time point of the message based on the network state information; and a transmission buffer unit configured to delay transmission of the message according to the control of the transmission time point of the transmission scheduler.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of operating a vehicle, the method comprising:\n generating a first vehicle safety message of the vehicle that comprises an identification of the vehicle, location information of the vehicle at a first time, a speed of the vehicle at the first time, a movement direction of the vehicle at the first time, a first time stamp indicative of the first time, a first message counter of the first vehicle safety message; wirelessly receiving vehicle safety messages from nearby vehicles, each vehicle safety message comprising identification of a nearby vehicle transmitting the particular vehicle safety message, location information of the nearby vehicle, a speed of the nearby vehicle, a movement direction of the nearby vehicle, a time stamp, and a message counter of the particular vehicle safety message; computing transmission probability (PTX) using a tracking error (TE) such that the higher the TE is, the higher the PTX becomes; determining, based on the PTX, whether to transmit the first vehicle safety message of the vehicle; computing a first delay time for transmitting the first vehicle safety message of the vehicle; temporarily storing the first vehicle safety message of the vehicle in a buffer; and subsequent to temporarily storing the first vehicle safety message and subsequent to computing the first delay time, transmitting the first vehicle safety message of the vehicle according to the first delay time.
