METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A CELLULAR ASSISTED INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided according to an example embodiment to provide a cellular based ITS environment. The cellular based ITS environment may be configured based on LTE based interfaces. In this regard, a method includes receiving configuration information from a first access point, wherein the configuration information defines an ITS target area comprising at least the first access point and a first RSU. A method also includes receiving an ITS paging message from the first access point. A method also includes causing a reselection of the first RSU while in the communications range of the first access point in the ITS target area and in response to the received ITS paging message.

1. An electronic device comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive configuration information from a first access point, wherein the configuration information defines an intelligent transportation system (ITS) target area comprising at least the first access point and a first road side unit (RSU);cause reselection to a second RSU in an instance in which the first access point is no longer in range, wherein the second RSU is in data communication with a second access point within the ITS target area; andreceive an ITS paging message comprising configuration information for the second access point and at least the second RSU.
