Abstract

A first V2X wireless device may transmit a first discovery request to a V2X network entity. The V2X network entity may comprise a first wireless device identifier and a V2X value. The V2X value may indicate a V2X communication capability. The first V2X wireless device may receive a first discovery response from the V2X network entity. The first discovery response may comprise a first discovery code. The first discovery code may correspond to at least the V2X value. The first V2X wireless device may perform a discovery procedure. The discovery procedure may employ the first discovery code. The first V2X wireless device may communicate, with a second V2X wireless device by employing the V2X communication capability, one or more packets in response to the discovery procedure connecting the first V2X wireless device with the second V2X wireless device.

Claims (54)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device from a base station of a cellular network, a message comprising an indication of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) group;

determining, by the first wireless device, that a second wireless device is associated with the V2X group;

determining, by the first wireless device, an updated list, of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device, that includes the second wireless device; and

sending, by the first wireless device to a third wireless device, the updated list.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication comprises a V2X application identifier.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the updated list comprises at least one V2X group member that is within a communication range of the first wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining that the second wireless device is associated with the V2X group comprises receiving at least one discovery message received from the second wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sending the updated list comprises periodically sending, by the first wireless device, a V2X discovery message comprising the updated list.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sending the updated list comprises sending the updated list via a PC5 interface.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first wireless device from the second wireless device, a list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the second wireless device,

wherein the determining the updated list that includes the second wireless device is based on a determination that the list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the second wireless device is different from a previous list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device.

8. A first wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the first wireless device to:

receive, from a base station of a cellular network, a message comprising an indication of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) group;

determine that a second wireless device is associated with the V2X group;

determine an updated list, of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device, that includes the second wireless device; and

send, to a third wireless device, the updated list.

9. The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the indication comprises a V2X application identifier.

10. The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the updated list comprises at least one V2X group member that is within a communication range of the first wireless device.

11. The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the first wireless device to determine that the second wireless device is associated with the V2X group by receiving, from the second wireless device, at least one discovery message.

12. The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the first wireless device to send the updated list by periodically sending a V2X discovery message comprising the updated list.

13. The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the first wireless device to send the updated list by sending the updated list via a PC5 interface.

14. The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further configure the first wireless device to receive, from the second wireless device, a list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the second wireless device, and

wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the first wireless device to determine the updated list that includes the second wireless device based on a determination that the list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the second wireless device is different from a previous list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a first wireless device to:

receive, from a base station of a cellular network, a message comprising an indication of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) group;

determine that a second wireless device is associated with the V2X group;

determine an updated list, of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device, that includes the second wireless device; and

send, to a third wireless device, the updated list.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the indication comprises a V2X application identifier.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the updated list comprises at least one V2X group member that is within a communication range of the first wireless device.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the first wireless device to determine that the second wireless device is associated with the V2X group by receiving, from the second wireless device, at least one discovery message.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the first wireless device to send the updated list by periodically sending a V2X discovery message comprising the updated list.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the first wireless device to send the updated list by sending the updated list via a PC5 interface.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further configure the first wireless device to receive, from the second wireless device, a list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the second wireless device, and

wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the first wireless device to determine the updated list that includes the second wireless device based on a determination that the list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the second wireless device is different from a previous list of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device.

22. A system comprising:

a base station of a cellular network; and

a first wireless device,

wherein the base station is configured to:

send, to the first wireless device, a message comprising an indication of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) group,

wherein the first wireless device is configured to:

determine that a second wireless device is associated with the V2X group;

determine an updated list, of neighboring V2X wireless device group members of the first wireless device, that includes the second wireless device; and
