TECHNIQUES FOR CONFIGURING TRANSMISSION OF A POSITION MESSAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17531431 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR CONFIGURING TRANSMISSION OF A POSITION MESSAGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on a user equipment (UE) that can identify when it is in a stationary state and transmit a position message accordingly. Here are the key points:

  • The UE, which can be a vehicle or a low-power sensor, determines if it satisfies a set of conditions for a stationary state.
  • When the UE is in a stationary state, it can transmit a position message, such as a basic safety message (BSM).
  • The UE determines the periodicity at which to transmit the position message based on its stationary state. The periodicity for a stationary state is typically longer than for a non-stationary state.
  • The position message is transmitted over a sidelink, following the configured parameters for the stationary state.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems, where vehicles can transmit their position messages to nearby vehicles for improved safety and coordination.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) networks, where low-power sensors can periodically transmit their position or status information to a central hub or other devices.
  • Smart city infrastructure, where stationary devices like traffic cameras or environmental sensors can transmit their data periodically for monitoring and analysis.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient use of wireless resources: By adjusting the periodicity of position message transmission based on the UE's state, unnecessary transmissions can be reduced, optimizing the use of wireless bandwidth.
  • Accurate and timely information: Transmitting position messages when in a stationary state ensures that other devices receive up-to-date and relevant information about the UE's location or status.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and coordination: V2V communication enabled by this technology can enhance road safety by providing real-time information about nearby vehicles.
  • Energy efficiency: By reducing the frequency of position message transmissions in non-stationary states, the UE can conserve energy and extend battery life.
  • Scalability: The technology can be applied to a wide range of wireless communication systems, making it adaptable to various use cases and network configurations.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) (e.g., a vehicle, low-power sensor) may identify that the UE satisfies a set of conditions for a stationary state. The stationary state may be associated with a configuration for transmitting a position message (e.g., a basic safety message (BSM)) while the UE satisfies the stationary state. The UE may identify a periodicity at which to transmit the position message based on the UE satisfying the set of conditions for the stationary state, where the periodicity associated with a stationary state may be larger than a periodicity associated with a non-stationary state. The UE may transmit (e.g., broadcast) the position message over a sidelink in accordance with the configuration and based on identifying that the UE satisfies the set of conditions for the stationary state.
