Integrated Telecommunications Roadside Unit for V2X Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The rise of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications leads to network congestion due to the increased data transmission from vehicles, causing end-to-end network latency and impacting safety features when vehicles are out of service areas.
Innovation Solution
An integrated telecommunications roadside unit (ITRU) system that intercepts and encapsulates V2V communications, routing them through a user plane package to a destination network access node outside the direct communication range, allowing for decapsulation and transmission to other vehicles or infrastructure using direct and network transmission modes, thereby mitigating network congestion and improving service coverage.

1Area of stationary object
If V2X communications are routed through conventional network mechanisms, then network coverage is extended, but network congestion increases and end-to-end latency worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The ITRU acts as an intermediary node between vehicles and the core network. It intercepts V2V communications within its coverage area and routes them through a user plane package to destination network access nodes, thereby extending network coverage while managing traffic flow to prevent congestion in the core network.
Solution Approach 2:
The network routing function is segmented into multiple components: local V2V communication handling, user plane package encapsulation, and distributed routing through multiple ITRUs and network access nodes. This segmentation allows parallel processing of V2X traffic, improving overall network throughput efficiency.
2Loss of time
If V2V communications are transmitted using direct transmission mode, then communication latency is reduced, but service coverage is limited to direct communication range
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a nested communication architecture where direct V2V transmission (inner layer) is combined with ITRU-mediated routing (outer layer). Vehicles within direct communication range exchange messages directly for low latency, while the ITRU nested infrastructure provides extended coverage for vehicles outside direct range by encapsulating and routing their communications.

AI summary
Concepts and technologies directed to an integrated telecommunications roadside unit for supporting vehicle-to-everything (“V2X”) communications are disclosed herein. Embodiments of an integrated telecommunications roadside unit can include a processor and a memory that store computer-executable instructions that configure a processor to perform operations. The operations can include intercepting a vehicle-to-vehicle communication that is provided from a first vehicle to a second vehicle. The vehicle-to-vehicle communication can be transmitted using a direct transmission mode. The operations can further include encapsulating the vehicle-to-vehicle communication in a user plane package. The operations can also include routing the user plane package to a destination network access node, where the destination network access node is outside of a direct communication range corresponding to the first vehicle and the second vehicle.
