Patent number: 12245122Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may communicate with multiple beacon devices (e.g., road side beacons), where messages from the road side beacons may be transmitted over a sidelink communications link and may be used to determine a speed and/or location of the wireless device. In some examples, the messages may carry public safety information, location information, navigation information, or other types of information, which may be used, for example, to notify the wireless device of a nearby event, to enable navigation, or the like. When receiving messages from the road side beacons, the wireless device may report a status to a base station, which may determine a relationship between transmissions from the wireless device and predict future transmissions based on the relationship. As a result, the base station may modify communications parameters in accordance with the status of the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yiqing Cao, Jing Lei, Wanshi Chen
