METHOD FOR SECURING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A ROADSIDE RADIO UNIT AND VEHICLES, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING VEHICLES, METHOD FOR MONITORING THE ROADSIDE RADIO UNIT, AND MONITORING UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18549677 titled 'METHOD FOR SECURING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A ROADSIDE RADIO UNIT AND VEHICLES, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING VEHICLES, METHOD FOR MONITORING THE ROADSIDE RADIO UNIT, AND MONITORING UNIT

The abstract describes a method for securing communication between a roadside radio unit and vehicles in its vicinity by broadcasting radio signals with temporal assignments, receiving response signals from vehicles or monitoring units, and broadcasting repeated signals based on the received responses.

• The method involves broadcasting a sequence of radio signals with temporal assignments.
• Response signals are received from vehicles or stationary monitoring units, indicating faulty or not received radio signals.
• Repeated signals are broadcasted based on the received response signals, representing the faulty or not-received radio signals.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing communication reliability between roadside radio units and vehicles. - Improving safety and efficiency in transportation systems. - Facilitating data exchange and coordination in smart city infrastructure.

Problems Solved: - Addressing communication disruptions and errors in roadside communication systems. - Ensuring accurate and timely transmission of information to vehicles in the vicinity.

Benefits: - Increased reliability and effectiveness of roadside communication. - Enhanced safety and efficiency in traffic management. - Improved connectivity and data exchange in smart transportation systems.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Roadside Communication Systems for Smart Transportation" This technology can be utilized in smart city projects, intelligent transportation systems, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication solutions. It has implications for traffic management companies, automotive manufacturers, and smart city developers.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve communication reliability in roadside systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using repeated signals based on response signals in this context?

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for securing communication between a roadside radio unit and vehicles in the surroundings of the roadside radio unit. The method includes: broadcasting a sequence of radio signals to the surroundings by means of the roadside radio unit, wherein the radio signals each have a temporal assignment; receiving a response signal from a vehicle or a stationary monitoring unit, wherein the response signal represents at least the temporal assignment of a radio signal that was faulty or not received by the vehicle or by the monitoring unit; and broadcasting a repeated signal by means of the roadside radio unit as a function of the received response signal, wherein the repeated signal represents the faulty or not-received radio signal and is in particular characterized as a repeated signal.
