  • Patent number: 9800492
    Abstract: A communication system of a vehicle receives data in wireless vehicle-to-surroundings. The communication system includes multiple control devices. A receiving control device receives data from objects located in the surroundings of the vehicle, and a communication stack is processed during reception. In order for the data to be expediently and effectively acquired, the received data is sorted into at least two classes of relevance and is further processed in the communication stack according to the class of relevance.

  • Publication number: 20170280416
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a time stamp in a vehicle which participates in a vehicle ad-hoc network, said method associating, by giving out the time stamp, an event, which is transmitted in a message, with a clock time. Said clock time is generated by updating a global time base that can be derived from a global satellite navigation signal (GNSS). The method comprises checking whether a GNSS signal can be received, and generating the clock time based on a local time base if an insufficient number of global satellite navigation signals for deriving the global time base is available.

  • Publication number: 20170230286
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for handling a received vehicle-to-X message in a vehicle, said message having at least a header and a body, and only the header without the body being forwarded to a self-learning map, in particular if it is established that the message is suitable for simplified processing. The invention also relates to a vehicle-to-X communications module and a storage medium for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 9721469
    Abstract: A method for filtering infrastructure description messages packed in data packages, the messages being transmitted in a vehicular ad hoc network, along with positional information messages for the localization of individual participating nodes, in order to describe the status of the vehicular ad hoc network and/or a street on which the participating nodes are located. The method includes the following steps: receiving one of the infrastructure description messages at a participating node; evaluating the received infrastructure description message as to whether a response is required; and filtering the evaluated infrastructure description message based on a predetermined criterion for whether a response is required.

  • Patent number: 9591024
    Abstract: A data selection method for reducing the decoding computational complexity of a vehicle-to-X communication system. The communication unit is used to transmit and receive vehicle-to-X messages, wherein the vehicle-to-X messages each include at least one useful data portion and at least one header data portion, wherein the at least one header data portion in each case is transmitted in uncoded form, and wherein the at least one useful data portion in each case is transmitted in coded form. The received vehicle-to-X messages are weighted into at least two categories on the basis of the at least one header data portion in each case, wherein the at least one useful data portion in each case is decoded on the basis of the weighting.
