Abstract: Performing filtering of infrastructure-to-vehicle (V2I) messages by a vehicle is provided. First messages are received from one or more road-side units (RSUs). Responsive to the vehicle approaching a check-in location indicated by the first messages, a check-in location identifier is stored for the check-in location retrieved from the first messages as being a current check-in location for the vehicle. Second messages are received from the one or more RSUs. Responsive to a message identifier in the second messages matching the check-in location identifier, the second messages are forwarded to a vehicle application for processing. Otherwise the second messages are discarded.

Abstract: A sum report is generated for each vehicle of a plurality of vehicles, the respective sum report indicating an account of the vehicle to be charged and a total sum owed by the vehicle. An aggregate report is generated indicating total amounts owed to each of a plurality of charger domains across the plurality of vehicles without indicating the accounts of the vehicles. The sum reports and the aggregate report are sent to a RUC service provider, the RUC service provider being configured to charge the vehicles using the sum reports and credit the charger domains using the aggregate report, while being unable to determine which routes were taken by the vehicles.

Abstract: Scheduling communications using a plurality of wireless interfaces is provided. Signals are monitored that are received from a first antenna configured to send and/or receive first messages over a first message protocol.

Abstract: A sequence of connected messages is transmitted using Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) of a predefined period. A random value for a 1-shot duration timer is set, the random value being chosen as being between a minimum and a maximum multiple of the predefined period. Responsive to expiration of the 1-shot duration timer, 1-shot resources are allocated for a 1-shot transmission, independent of SPS-allocated resources of the SPS, and a next packet of the sequence of connected messages is transmitted as a 1-shot message using the 1-shot resources instead of using the SPS-allocated resources of the SPS.
