Abstract

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for gathering location information of a vehicular user equipment (VUE). In one aspect of the present invention, a method for gathering location information in a wireless access system supporting vehicle to everything (V2X) service, the method performed by a vehicular user equipment (VUE) and comprising steps of receiving a Tracking Service Request message including a V2X tracking service indication field indicating tracking service is triggered or not and an identifier of the VUE; and transmitting a Tracking Service Response message including location information of the VUE in response to the Tracking Service Request message, wherein the location information includes a location information field indicating a location coordinate of the VUE, a time field indicating current time and time zone information corresponding to the location information field, and a fuel level field indicating fuel level of the VUE.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for gathering location information in a wireless access system supporting a vehicle to everything (V2X) service, the method performed by a vehicular user equipment (VUE) and comprising:
receiving a Tracking Service Request message including an identifier of the VUE and a V2X tracking service indication field indicating whether tracking service is triggered, wherein the Tracking Service Request message is a paging message received based on preset resources for the V2X service; and
transmitting a Tracking Service Response message including location information of the VUE in response to the received Tracking Service Request message,
wherein the location information includes a location information field indicating a location coordinate of the VUE, a time field indicating current time and time zone information corresponding to the location information field, a fuel level field indicating a fuel level of the VUE, and a previous location field indicating previous locations and corresponding time stamps.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information further includes a next Tracking Service Response field indicating a series of location information and time information of the VUE estimated based on the location information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information further includes passenger information indicating a number of passengers in the VUE when the Tracking Service Request message is received.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is an international mobile subscriber identity of the VUE when the Tracking Service Request message is a unicast type paging message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is a vehicle identifier of the VUE uniquely identifying a vehicle in which the VUE is located when the Tracking Service Request message is a broadcast type paging message.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the vehicle identifier is mapped to an international mobile subscriber identity of the VUE uniquely identifying the VUE and maintained in a network.

7. The method of claim 5 , the method further comprising transmitting a paging indication message including resource allocation information indicating resources for transmitting the Tracking Service Request message.

8. A vehicular user equipment (VUE) for gathering location information in a wireless access system supporting a vehicle to everything (V2X) service, the VUE comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit information;
a receiver configured to receive information; and
a processor operatively connected with the transmitter and the receiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
control the receiver to receive a Tracking Service Request message including an identifier of the VUE and a V2X tracking service indication field indicating whether tracking service is triggered, wherein the Tracking Service Request message is a paging message received based on preset resources for the V2X service; and
control the receiver to transmit a Tracking Service Response message including location information of the VUE in response to the received Tracking Service Request message,
wherein the location information includes a location information field indicating a location coordinate of the VUE, a time field indicating current time and time zone information corresponding to the location information field, a fuel level field indicating a fuel level of the VUE, and a previous location field indicating previous locations and corresponding time stamps.

9. The VUE of claim 8 , wherein the location information further includes a next Tracking Service Response field indicating series of location information and time information of the VUE estimated based on the location information.

10. The VUE of claim 8 , wherein the location information further includes passenger information indicating a number of passengers in the VUE when the Tracking Service Request message is received.

11. The VUE of claim 8 , wherein the identifier is a vehicle identifier of the VUE uniquely identifying a vehicle in which the VUE is located when the Tracking Service Request message is a broadcast type paging message.

12. The VUE of claim 11 , wherein the identifier
is mapped an international mobile subscriber identity of the VUE when the Tracking Service Request message is a unicast type paging message.

13. The VUE of claim 12 , wherein the processor further configured to control the transmitter to transmit a paging indication message including resource allocation information indicating resources for transmitting the Tracking Service Request message.

14. The VUE of claim 11 , wherein the vehicle identifier is mapped to an international mobile subscriber identity of the VUE uniquely identifying the VUE and maintained in a network.
