Vehicle wireless device discovery
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable media for vehicle wireless device discovery are provided. A wireless device may use a discovery code to announce information, such as a type of vehicle-to-everything (V 2 X) communication. The discovery code may be used by another wireless device in proximity (e.g., a monitoring wireless device) to discover the announcing wireless device. The wireless devices may exchange packets using vehicle-to-everything communication.
