Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to techniques for implementing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) systems and networks. V2X system scenarios characterized by high mobility and dynamic topologies, where the accuracy and timeliness of radio network information, location information may be hampered by environmental conditions and deployment density of network infrastructure. The disclosed embodiments provide a V2X Information Service (VIS) framework for cooperative acquisition, partitioning, and distribution of information for efficient, journey-specific quality-of-service (QoS) predictions. The VIS framework identifies space/time correlations between radio condition/quality data collected in V2X system(s) and a vehicle's planned journey for better prediction of the radio conditions/quality of the communication network along the designated route. As a consequence, the VIS may expose journey-specific information about the QoS prediction to authorized devices.
