Abstract: Embodiments relate to a vehicle, an apparatus, a method and a computer program for communicating in multiple mobile communication systems. An apparatus for a vehicle communicating in multiple mobile communication systems comprises one or more interfaces configured to communicate in the mobile communication systems using an adaptive antenna. The apparatus comprises a control module configured to control the one or more interfaces. The control module is further configured to determine a setting for the adaptive antenna to obtain spatially separated signals using the same time and frequency resources, and to detect different messages from the spatially separated signals.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method, an apparatus, a vehicle and a computer program for determining information related to an authenticity of a wireless message in a wireless group communication among vehicles of a group of vehicles. The method comprises Receiving the wireless message via an antenna module. The method further comprises Detecting a signal pilot within the wireless message. The method further comprises Determining the information related to the authenticity of the wireless message based on the detected signal pilot.

Abstract: Apparatus for controlling a device of a motor vehicle includes a communication unit configured to shift the device of the motor vehicle from an idle mode to an active mode by sending a first wireless signal. The apparatus is configured to specify a frequency and/or a channel for transmitting and/or receiving the first wireless signal in the active mode and to control the device so that the device is only shifted from the idle mode to the active mode when the first wireless signal is received at the specified frequency and/or the specified channel.

Abstract: A method of high-density platooning for transporting goods or persons wherein a group of transportation vehicles drives close behind each other as a convoy, wherein the distances between the transportation vehicles of the convoy are controlled automatically to reduce the energy consumption. An efficient distance measurement method carries out distance measurements between the transportation vehicles of the convoy. A method of UWB ranging, corresponding to Ultra-Wide Band ranging, is used for distance measurement. The coordination of the time sequence of the individual distance measurements between each two transportation vehicles of the convoy is provided so a planned time is assigned to each individual distance measurement to be carried out starting from the coordination event.

Abstract: A method for coordinating an emergency braking of a platoon of communicatively-coupled transportation vehicles. In response to an emergency situation, individual braking control settings are centrally determined for one or more transportation vehicles of the platoon by a managing entity managing the platoon. The individual braking control settings are communicated from the managing entity) to the one or more transportation vehicles of the platoon. The one or more transportation vehicles of the platoon brake in accordance with the respective individual braking control settings received from the managing entity.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for determining a vehicle position in a fixed-traffic-node coordinate system. The apparatus includes at least one receiver for receiving a signal from a traffic-node transmission device, at least one device for determining an item of direction-of-travel information in a global reference coordinate system and at least one evaluation device. A spatial relationship between the global reference coordinate system and the fixed-traffic-node coordinate system is known in advance. The evaluation device can be used to take at least one signal property of a received signal as a basis for determining a position of the traffic-node transmission device in a vehicle coordinate system. The evaluation device can be used to determine the vehicle position in the fixed-traffic-node coordinate system on the basis of the direction-of-travel information and the position of the traffic-node transmission device in the vehicle coordinate system.
