Abstract:
A method and system for controlling sensor data acquisition using a vehicular communication network is provided. An example method includes establishing an operable connection between a first vehicle and remote vehicles. The first vehicle and the remote vehicles operate based upon a common time base according to a global time signal. The method includes receiving capability data that includes a sensor actuation time slot of each of the remote vehicles indicting a time slot at which the sensors of each of the remote vehicles are actuating. The sensor actuation time slot of each of the remote vehicle is different. The method also includes dividing a clock cycle into a plurality of time slots based on the remote vehicles and controlling, according to the plurality of time slots and the sensor actuation time slot, sensor actuation of a sensor of the first vehicle and the sensors of the remote vehicles.

Claim (Index 14):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:\n establish an operable connection for computer communication between a first vehicle and one or more remote vehicles within a communication range of the first vehicle using a vehicular communication network, wherein the first vehicle and the one or more remote vehicles are synchronized according to a global time signal; receive, from each of the one or more remote vehicles, capability data corresponding to capabilities of sensors of each of the one or more remote vehicles, wherein the capability data a sensor actuation time slot of each of the one or more remote vehicles indicting a time slot at which the sensors of each of the one or more remote vehicles are actuating, and wherein the time slot of each of the one or more remote vehicles are different; divide a clock cycle into a plurality of time slots; and control, according to the plurality of time slots and the sensor actuation time slot, sensor actuation of a sensor of the first vehicle and the sensors of each of the remote vehicles.
