  • Patent number: 12172644
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a driving maneuver for creating a gap in the traffic flow, which is multiple lanes wide, involving a first vehicle and a plurality of second vehicles. The first vehicle, which requests the gap in the traffic flow periodically sends corresponding request signals at least to a plurality of second vehicles. The second vehicles that intend to comply with the request send out corresponding signaling signals. As soon as a sufficient minimum number of second vehicles that intend to comply with the request can be determined, the second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver for creating the gap in the traffic flow are informed. The second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver agree on the beginning of the driving maneuver and mutually coordinate their trajectories. One of the second vehicles is designated as the maneuver leader and transmits at least one characteristic of the gap in the traffic flow to the first vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7013412
    Abstract: In a method for deinterleaving a data signal interleaved in blocks in accordance with a prescribed interleaving specification, deinterleaving target addresses are calculated for a first prescribed segment of the data symbols to be deinterleaved, and are stored in a target address memory. The relevant segment of the data symbols is then deinterleaved by using the calculated target addresses. Subsequently, these two steps are repeated until the entire data block has been segmentally deinterleaved.
