  • Publication number: 20240249616
    Abstract: This technology provides an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Intelligent Control System (ICS) that integrates a sensing module for collecting driving environment data and an onboard unit (OBU) for vehicle control. The OBU includes a vehicle control module and communication modules for interacting with Traffic Control Centers (TCC/TCU) and Roadside Units (RSUs). These modules exchange information at the control level, such as vehicle positioning, speed, and environmental conditions, enabling the AV to operate safely and efficiently. The system also features redundancy through dual-security mechanisms, enhancing safety and reliability. The AV ICS is designed to distribute driving tasks and functions, utilizing both TCC/TCU and RSU data for vehicle control and monitoring, with wireless communication capabilities for seamless information exchange.

  • Publication number: 20240179709
    Abstract: This application provides a feedback information transmission method and a related apparatus. When the first PUCCH resource overlaps the downlink symbol or the flexible symbol in time domain, the terminal device may switch the HARQ feedback information to another time unit for sending. This resolves low data transmission reliability because the HARQ feedback information cannot be sent and is discarded when the first PUCCH resource overlaps the downlink symbol or the flexible symbol.
