Abstract

A method of wireless communication at a V2X device is disclosed herein. The method includes detecting that at least one sensor of the V2X device has become non-operational or unreliable. The method includes transmitting, for at least one network node based on the detection, at least one message that includes information regarding the at least one sensor becoming non-operational or unreliable, where the at least one message includes at least one field for the information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device, comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
detect that at least one sensor of the V2X device has become non-operational or unreliable; and
transmit, for at least one network node based on the detection, at least one message that includes information regarding the at least one sensor becoming non-operational or unreliable, wherein the at least one message includes at least one field for the information.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
detect that the at least one sensor is no longer non-operational or unreliable; and cease to transmit the at least one message based on the detection that the at least one sensor is no longer non-operational or unreliable.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the at least one sensor includes at least one of:
a first indication as to whether the at least one sensor is non-operational, a second indication of a time at which the at least one sensor became unreliable or non-operational, a third indication of kinematics of the V2X device, a fourth indication of at least one type of the at least one sensor, a fifth indication of a probable cause of the at least one sensor becoming non-operational or unreliable, or a sixth indication of an identifier (ID) for the V2X device.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the kinematics of the V2X device include a latitude, a longitude, an altitude, a heading, and a speed of the V2X device.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message comprises a cooperative perception message (CPM), and wherein the information regarding the at least one sensor is included in a container of the CPM.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message is different from a cooperative perception message (CPM) or a sensor data sharing message (SDSM), and wherein the at least one message is different from a cooperative awareness message (CAM) or a basic safety message (BSM).

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein to transmit the at least one message, the at least one processor is configured to: transmit the at least one message at a first periodicity which is lower than a second periodicity associated with transmission of the CPM or the SDSM or transmit the at least one message at the first periodicity which is lower than a third periodicity associated with transmission of the CAM or the BSM.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the at least one message includes a source identifier (ID) and a cryptographic certificate that is used by the BSM.

9 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
transmit, in addition to the at least one processor being configured to transmit the at least one message, at least one of:
the CPM or the SDSM, or
the CAM or the BSM.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the V2X device is at least one of a vehicle, an ego vehicle, a user equipment (UE), a roadside unit (RSU), or a network node, and wherein the at least one network node is at least one of a second UE, a second vehicle, a network entity, a second RSU, a mobile phone, a traffic management component, or a misbehavior component.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the V2X device or the at least one network node is a member of a vehicular platoon.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor includes one or more of:
a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor, a camera sensor, a radar sensor, a sound navigation and ranging sensor, or a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor.

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
ascertain the information regarding the at least one sensor based on the detection that the at least one sensor of the V2X device has become non-operational or unreliable.

14 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a wireless communication device comprising at least one of a transceiver or an antenna coupled to the at least one processor, and wherein to transmit the at least one message, the at least one processor is configured to transmit the at least one message via at least one of the transceiver or the antenna.

15 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device, at least one message that includes information regarding at least one sensor of the V2X device becoming non-operational or unreliable, wherein the at least one message includes at least one field for the information; and
perform, based on the at least one message, at least one action pertaining to the at least one sensor of the V2X device becoming non-operational or unreliable.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the network node comprises a vehicle, and wherein to perform the at least one action pertaining to the at least one sensor of the V2X device becoming non-operational or unreliable, the at least one processor is configured to:
modify at least one misbehavior detection algorithm based on the at least one field of the at least one message.

17 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the network node comprises a vehicle, and wherein to perform the at least one action pertaining to the at least one sensor of the V2X device becoming non-operational or unreliable, the at least one processor is configured to:
exclude the V2X device from a misbehaving vehicle list maintained by the vehicle when the at least one message indicates that the V2X device is outside a threshold range of the vehicle or when the at least one message indicates that the V2X device has a speed that is less than a threshold value.

18 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the network node comprises a road side unit (RSU), and wherein to perform the at least one action pertaining to the at least one sensor of the V2X device becoming non-operational or unreliable, the at least one processor is configured to:
forward the at least one message to a set of additional network nodes.

19 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein to perform the at least one action pertaining to the at least one sensor of the V2X device becoming non-operational or unreliable, the at least one processor is configured to:
transmit at least a portion of the at least one message to a remote server.

20 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the information regarding the at least one sensor includes at least one of:
