Base station for receiving and processing vehicle control information and/or traffic state information

1. A base station for receiving one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information from a vehicle control unit of a vehicle connected to the base station, the base station comprising:

at least one interface;

a baseband unit connected to the at least one interface; and

a security unit configured to determine whether the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information was altered before the receipt of the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information;

wherein the at least one interface is configured to communicate with at least one application processing unit for processing the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information in the at least one application processing unit, and to receive a result of the processing from the at least one application processing unit;

wherein the baseband unit is configured to forward the result of the processing to the vehicle control unit, and the vehicle control information includes information regarding a user interface of at least one vehicle.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein

the base station is a base station according to a 3GPP standard.

3. The base station of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one interface comprises a software interface and the at least one application processing unit is part of the base station, or

the at least one interface comprises a hardware interface connectable to the at least one application processing unit, or

the at least one interface comprises the software interface and the hardware interface connectable to the at least one application processing unit, the at least one application processing unit is part of the base station.

4. The base station of claim 1 , wherein

the vehicle control information further includes information regarding at least one of a sensor or an actor of the at least one vehicle.

5. The base station of claim 1 , wherein

the traffic state information includes information regarding one or more of position and movement of at least one of a pedestrian, a bicycle, or another vehicle, or

the traffic state information includes information provided by at least one traffic light or at least one traffic management system, or

the traffic state information includes information regarding the one or more of position and the movement of at least one of the pedestrian, the bicycle, or the other vehicle, and information provided by the at least one traffic light or the at least one traffic management system.

6. The base station of claim 1 , further comprising

an error correction unit configured to apply error correction to one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information received by the base station, and the result of the processing forwarded by the base station.

7. The base station of claim 6 , wherein

the error correction unit comprises a determining unit configured to determine whether one or more of received and sent information is one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information and the result of the processing and to apply the error correction to the one or more of the received and the sent information when the one or more of the received and the sent information is the one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information and the result of the processing.

8. The base station of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one interface is further configured to communicate with the at least one application processing unit to exclusively process one or more of the vehicle control information and the traffic state information in the at least one application processing unit.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a base station, one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information from a vehicle control unit connected to the base station;

determining, by the base station, whether the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information was altered before the receipt of the vehicle control information;

forwarding, by the base station, the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information to at least one application processing unit through at least one interface comprised in the base station;

receiving, by the base station, a result of processing the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information from the at least one application processing unit through the at least one interface; and

sending, by the base station, the result of the processing to the vehicle control unit;

wherein the vehicle control information includes information regarding a user interface of at least one vehicle.

10. A vehicle control unit, comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations including

deriving from at least one of a sensor, an actor or a user interface of one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information;

communicating with a base station to send the one or more of the derived vehicle control information and the traffic state information to the base station, and receiving from the base station a result of processing one or more of the sent vehicle control information and the sent traffic state information, wherein the base station determines whether the one or more of vehicle control information and traffic state information was altered before the receipt of the vehicle control information; and

processing the received result of the processing.

11. The vehicle control unit of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

controlling the at least one of the sensor, the actor or the user interface of the vehicle according to the result of the processing received from the base station.

12. The vehicle control unit of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

applying error correction to one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information sent to the base station, and the result of the processing received from the base station.

13. The vehicle control unit of claim 12 , wherein applying the error correction to the one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information sent to the base station, and the result of the processing received from the base station comprises:

determining whether one or more of received and sent information is one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information and the result of the processing, and applying the error correction to the one or more of the received and sent information when the one or more of the received and the sent information is the one or more of the vehicle control information, the traffic state information and the result of the processing.

14. The vehicle control unit of claim 10 , wherein the operations further include:

determining whether the result of the processing received from the base station is a result of processing, and

exclusively controlling the at least one of the sensor, the actor or the user interface of the vehicle according to the result of processing.
