Abstract

Various embodiments include methods and systems for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system of a vehicle for managing processing of a basic safety message (BSM). Various embodiments may include calculating a relevancy value of a received BSM prior to conducting security processing of the BSM, determining whether the relevancy value of the BSM meets a relevancy threshold, and stopping processing of the BSM in response to determining that the relevancy value of the BSM does not meet the relevancy threshold.

Claims (40)

1. A method performed by a processor of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system of a vehicle for managing processing of basic safety messages (BSMs), comprising:

calculating a relevancy value of a received first BSM based on a relative speed of the vehicle and a sender of the first BSM divided by a distance from the vehicle to the sender of the first BSM prior to conducting security processing of the first BSM;

determining whether the relevancy value of the first BSM meets a relevancy threshold; and

stopping processing of the first BSM without performing security processing in response to determining that the relevancy value of the first BSM does not meet the relevancy threshold.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

calculating a relevancy value of a received second BSM prior to conducting security processing of the second BSM;

determining whether the relevancy value of the second BSM meets the relevancy threshold; and

performing security processing of the second BSM and performing a misbehavior detection operation on the second BSM in response to determining that the relevancy value of the second BSM meets the relevancy threshold.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein performing security processing of the second BSM comprises performing a cryptographic validation of the second BSM.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein performing a misbehavior detection operation on the second BSM comprises performing a semantic validation of the second BSM.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevancy value is calculated further based on an inverse time-to-collision of the vehicle and a sender of the first BSM.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the relevancy threshold based on a processing capability of the V2X communication system and a maneuvering capability of the vehicle.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the relevancy threshold based on a reaction time of the V2X communication system and a braking time of the vehicle.

8. A vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system of a vehicle, comprising:

a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:

calculate a relevancy value of a received first BSM based on a relative speed of the vehicle and a sender of the first BSM divided by a distance from the vehicle to the sender of the first BSM prior to conducting security processing of the first BSM;

determine whether the relevancy value of the first BSM meets a relevancy threshold; and

stop processing of the first BSM without performing security processing in response to determining that the relevancy value of the first BSM does not meet the relevancy threshold.

9. The V2X communication system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to:

calculate a relevancy value of a received second BSM prior to conducting security processing of the second BSM;

determine whether the relevancy value of the second BSM meets the relevancy threshold; and

perform security processing of the second BSM and perform a misbehavior detection operation on the second BSM in response to determining that the relevancy value of the second BSM meets the relevancy threshold.

10. The V2X communication system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to perform a cryptographic validation of the second BSM.

11. The V2X communication system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to perform a semantic validation of the second BSM.

12. The V2X communication system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to calculate the relevancy value further based on an inverse time-to-collision of the vehicle and a sender of the first BSM.

13. The V2X communication system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to determine the relevancy threshold based on a processing capability of the V2X communication system and a maneuvering capability of the vehicle.

14. The V2X communication system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to determine the relevancy threshold based on a reaction time of the V2X communication system and a braking time of the vehicle.

15. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system of a vehicle to perform operations comprising:

calculating a relevancy value of a received first BSM based on a relative speed of the vehicle and a sender of the first BSM divided by a distance from the vehicle to the sender of the first BSM prior to conducting security processing of the first BSM;

determining whether the relevancy value of the first BSM meets a relevancy threshold; and

stopping processing of the first BSM without performing security processing in response to determining that the relevancy value of the first BSM does not meet the relevancy threshold.

16. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the stored processor-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor of the V2X communication system to:

calculate a relevancy value of a received second BSM prior to conducting security processing of the second BSM;

determine whether the relevancy value of the second BSM meets the relevancy threshold; and

perform operations further comprising performing security processing of the second BSM and performing a misbehavior detection operation on the second BSM in response to determining that the relevancy value of the second BSM meets the relevancy threshold.

17. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the stored processor-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor of the V2X communication system to perform operations such that performing security processing of the second BSM comprises performing a cryptographic validation of the BSM.

18. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the stored processor-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor of the V2X communication system to perform operations such that performing a misbehavior detection operation on the second BSM comprises performing a semantic validation of the BSM.

19. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the stored processor-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor of the V2X communication system to perform operations such that calculating a relevancy value for the received BSM comprises calculating the relevancy value further based on an inverse time-to-collision of a vehicle including the V2X communication system and a sender of the first BSM.

20. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the stored processor-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor of the V2X communication system to perform operations further comprising determining the relevancy threshold based on a processing capability of the V2X communication system and a maneuvering capability of the vehicle.

21. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the stored processor-executable instructions are further configured to cause the processor of the V2X communication system to perform operations further comprising determining the relevancy threshold based on a reaction time of the V2X communication system and a braking time of the vehicle.
