Abstract: A communication device mounted on a vehicle, e.g., On-Board Unit (OBU), communicates collision related information to other road entities, e.g., other vehicles or roadside units (RSUs) or a server, after a collision is detected. The OBU may temporarily store basic safety messages (BSMs) (and optionally sensor data) for a predesignated number of seconds before discarding the BSMs (and optionally sensor data) on a continuing basis. When a collision is detected, the OBU sends a report, e.g., to a server, with the stored BSMs (and optionally sensor data) to a server. After a collision detection, the OBU may send a request to other vehicles to upload relevant collision related information. Additionally, if a first vehicle detects the collision of a second vehicle, the first vehicle may communicate collision related information to other entities and a server.

Abstract: A vehicle may transmit, to a network entity, a lane use request message associated with a lane for the vehicle. The network entity may identify lane information associated with a lane for a vehicle. The network entity may identify vehicle information associated with the vehicle. The network entity may transmit, to the vehicle, and the vehicle may receive, from the network entity, a lane use grant message based on at least one of the identified lane information or the identified vehicle information. The lane use grant message may be indicative of a permission for the vehicle to use the lane. The vehicle may not be permitted to use the lane without the permission. The lane may correspond to a flexible direction lane, an emergency lane, a road shoulder, an HOV lane, or a passing lane.

Abstract: A method of vehicle-to-vehicle monitoring includes: receiving, at a monitor vehicle, a trigger to provide a report relating to a target vehicle, the trigger including identifying information of the target vehicle; obtaining, at the monitor vehicle, first information wirelessly that at least partially identifies the target vehicle; determining, at the monitor vehicle, that the first information corresponds to the identifying information of the target vehicle; and reporting, from the monitor vehicle based on receipt of the trigger and determining that the first information corresponds to the identifying information of the target vehicle, second information indicating presence of the target vehicle and a location associated with the target vehicle.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for maintaining C-V2X timing (e.g., in platoon scenarios). The apparatus of a slave UE determines a thermal condition of the respective slave UE within a platoon of UEs. The apparatus performs synchronization with a first synchronization source, directly or indirectly, based on the thermal condition of the slave UE. Synchronization is performed directly with the first synchronization source in response to a determination that the thermal condition of the slave UE is below a threshold. Synchronization is performed indirectly with the first synchronization source through a master UE within the platoon of UEs in response to a determination that the thermal condition exceeds a threshold. The apparatus may receive, from a master UE within the platoon of UEs, SLSS to synchronize indirectly to the first synchronization source through the master UE.
