Abstract: A method for operating a radar system (210) in a vehicle (201), the method including establishing a wireless communication link (245) to a radio base station (250) in a wireless communication network (260), requesting a time-frequency resource (420, 430) for communicating with a network node (270) via the radio base station (250), receiving a transmission grant from the radio base station (250) for communicating with the network node (270) using the time-frequency resource (420, 430), transmitting a communications signal (245) in the time-frequency resource, and transmitting a radar signal (235) in the time-frequency resource.

Abstract: An automotive radar transceiver system (400), including a radar transceiver (450) arranged to transmit radar signals in time-frequency resources dynamically allocated (310, 330) by a remote scheduler function (320). The system further having an environment perception system (430) arranged to obtain environment data indicative of a surrounding traffic environment of the radar transceiver (450), and a radar resource requirement prediction module (440) configured to estimate a future time-frequency resource requirement for radar operation, based on the environment data. Wherein the radar transceiver (450) is arranged to request time-frequency resources for radar operation from the remote scheduler function (320) based on the estimated future time-frequency resource requirement.

Abstract: A radar system for coordinated automotive radar transmission, comprising a cellular access network node configured to establish a primary time synchronized frame structure (310) for cellular radio transmissions over a first local area in a first frequency band (F1), wherein the primary time synchronized frame structure (310) is at least partly defined by one or more transmitted synchronization signals (320), and one or more automotive radar transceivers arranged to determine a radar time reference (T0) from the one or more synchronization signals (320), and to establish a secondary time synchronized frame structure (330) for radar transmissions over at least part of the first local area in a second frequency band (F2), wherein the secondary time synchronized frame structure (330) is at least partly defined by the radar time reference (T0).

Abstract: A driver monitoring system of a vehicle includes: a camera configured to capture an image of a driver on a driver's seat within a passenger cabin of the vehicle; a gaze module configured to determine a gaze vector based on a direction of pupils of the driver in the image; an area module configured to determine an area on a vertical plane in front of the driver based on a road in front of the vehicle; a location module configured to determine a location on the vertical plane where the gaze vector intersects the vertical plane; and a monitor module that determines whether the location on the vertical plane where the gaze vector intersects the vertical plane is within the area on the vertical plane.
