  • Patent number: 10896556
    Abstract: A trigger event is detected based on a vehicle malfunction that limits maneuverability of a vehicle. An alert message is generated based on the detected trigger event, and the alert message is broadcast via a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. Based on the detected trigger event, a receive channel mask and a transmit channel mask are generated, and a channel mask flag is set. When the channel mask flag is set, one or more incoming message channels are selected based on the incoming channel mask and the channel mask flag, and incoming V2X messages are received and processed only on the selected one or more incoming message channels. When the channel mask flag is cleared, incoming V2X messages are received and processed on the selected one or more incoming message channels and at least one additional incoming message channel.
