APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CHANNEL ALLOCATION ACCORDING TO TRAVELING DIRECTION IN INTER-VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

An apparatus allocates a channel used for inter-vehicle communications according to a traveling direction. The apparatus includes a traveling direction determiner for determining whether or not a traveling direction of a vehicle is changed; and a channel allocator for allocating the vehicle a previously allocated channel or a new channel based on a determined result of the traveling direction determiner. Further, a method allocates a channel used for inter-vehicle communications according to a traveling direction. The method includes the steps of determining whether or not a traveling direction of a vehicle is changed; and allocating the vehicle a previously allocated channel or a new channel based on a determined result in the above step.
