Patent number: 11178675Abstract: Embodiments provide apparatuses, methods and computer programs for mobile communication systems comprising base station and mobile transceivers. An apparatus for a base station transceiver (and/or a mobile transceiver) of a mobile communication system, comprises a transceiver module to communicate with the mobile transceiver (and/or base station transceiver) using first and second communication channels, wherein the first channel is more reliable than the second channel. The apparatus further comprises a controller module to control the transceiver module, and to provide a data service to the mobile transceiver (and/or base station transceiver). The data service comprises first and second data packets, wherein the first data packets comprise information related to core data of the data service, and wherein the second data packets comprise information related to optional refinement data for the data service. The first data packets use the first channel, and the second data packets use the second channel.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Thorsten Wild, Danish Aziz, Frank Schaich, Paulo Baracca, Andre Fonseca Dos Santos

Patent number: 9980107Abstract: A vehicle messaging transmission method, a vehicle messaging transmitter, a vehicle messaging reception method, a vehicle messaging receiver, an infrastructure node method, and infrastructure node and computer program products are disclosed. The vehicle messaging transmission method, comprises: detecting a vehicle event; and transmitting both a vehicle-to-vehicle message over a vehicle-to-vehicle radio link, the vehicle-to-vehicle message identifying the vehicle event and a vehicle-to-infrastructure message over a vehicle-to-infrastructure radio link, the vehicle-to-infrastructure message identifying the vehicle event. In this way, rather than periodically transmitting location messages, instead messages are only transmitted when a particular event occurs. This helps to reduce the volume of messages since the messages are only transmitted when an event occurs. Also transmitting a vehicle-to-vehicle message enables messages to be transmitted quickly, with reduced latency.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Volker Braun, Uwe Doetsch, Andre Fonseca Dos Santos
