SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONGESTION REDUCTION IN VEHICLE-TO-EVERYTHING (V2X) SYSTEMS
A vehicle control unit (VCU) or other vehicle device to accept a reduced number of messages from a sender for processing rather than having the sender transmit messages less often when a communication channel is crowded. The overall number of messages that need to be processed after accepting the messages stays the same, but the number of messages accepted per sender per time interval is reduced.
The assumption that every participating vehicle control unit (VCU) or engine control unit (ECU) in a V2X network is synchronized to GNSS time or GPS time (or some other time base) is discarded. An error is assumed for every time entry. For all messages received from a dedicated communication node, a time compensation offset is determined.
Based upon the current position of a vehicle, a processor determines which V2X communication standard to use. If a change from a current V2X protocol being used to a new protocol (required because of the location of the vehicle) is determined, software for the new protocol is loaded to re-configure the processor or other electronic devices in the VCU or elsewhere in the vehicle.
Every message received by the vehicle from any source is then rated as to how well it fits into or comports with information in the environmental model. A good fit results in a positive or high integrity rating and a bad fit results in a negative or lower integrity rating.
