Abstract: A method for supporting a first mobile station to predict the channel quality for a planned decentralized wireless communication to a communication partner station which includes sending to the first mobile station from a second mobile station a report about the channel quality measured at the second mobile station. This report includes at least one information entry about the channel quality measured by the second mobile station at a position for a communication to or from a third mobile station indicated in the report. The first mobile station benefits from the historical channel quality measurements of the second transportation vehicle. The accuracy of the channel quality prediction is thus increased.

Abstract: A method for predicting a quality of service for a communication between at least two moving communication partners, wherein the prediction is based on at least one link-based quality of service map that is updated in a link-based QoS map generation process. Since classical radio maps are node-based, the classical radio maps are not appropriate for estimating an end-to-end latency for the communication link. The end-to-end latency is needed when determining whether safety critical messages are to be exchanged over this communication link.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a method for predicting a quality of service for a communication about at least one communication link of at least one communication device. QoS prediction may be necessary when it comes to the case that a user wants to use an application where a certain type of QoS is a presumption. For getting the best estimate of the quality of service the method comprises the steps of sending from the communication device a quality of service prediction request message hereinafter called QoS prediction request message to a communication service prediction server, predicting the quality of service in the communication service prediction server and sending back a quality of service prediction response message to the communication device. The communication device can thus decide if the predicted QoS is sufficient for the planned activity and may take a decision to either start the activity, postpone the activity or alter the activity.
