Abstract

A wireless communications method is applicable to short-range communications, for example, cockpit domain communications, self-driving, or intelligent driving and includes a terminal device that receives first feature information and first configuration information from a network device, where the first feature information indicates a first feature, and the first configuration information is for configuring at least one communications parameter or a device state for at least one terminal device that matches the first feature indicated by the first feature information. Then, when the terminal device determines that a feature of the terminal device matches the first feature, the terminal device is configured based on the first configuration information.

Claims (30)

1 . A wireless communications method comprising:

receiving first feature information and first configuration information from a network device, wherein the first feature information corresponds to a first location within a vehicle, and wherein the first configuration information is for configuring at least one wireless communications parameter; and

configuring, in response to a second location of a terminal device within the vehicle matching the first location, the at least one wireless communications parameter of the terminal device.

2 . The wireless communications method of claim 1 , wherein the first feature information is preconfigured or predefined.

3 . The wireless communications method of claim 1 , wherein the first feature information identifies third location information in a cockpit.

4 . The wireless communications method of claim 1 , wherein the first feature information comprises first type information, wherein the first type information indicates at least one device type, and wherein configuring the at least one wireless communications parameter comprises configuring, in response to second type information of the terminal device matching the first type information, the at least one wireless communications parameter of the terminal device.

5 . The wireless communications method of claim 1 , wherein the first feature information comprises first priority information, wherein the first priority information indicates at least one device priority, and wherein configuring the at least one wireless communications parameter comprises configuring, in response to second priority information of the terminal device matching the first priority information, the at least one wireless communications parameter of the terminal device.

6 . The wireless communications method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless communications parameter comprises transmit power.

7 . A communications apparatus comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium configured to store instructions; and

one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory storage medium and configured to execute the instructions to cause the communications apparatus to:

receive first feature information and first configuration information from a network device, wherein the first feature information corresponds to a first location within a vehicle, and wherein the first configuration information is for configuring at least one wireless communications parameter; and

configure, in response to a second location of a terminal device within the vehicle matching the first location, the at least one wireless communications parameter of the terminal device.

8 . The communications apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first feature information is preconfigured or predefined.

9 . The communications apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first feature information identifies third location information in a cockpit.

10 . The communications apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first feature information comprises first type information, wherein the first type information indicates at least one device type, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to configure the at least one wireless communication parameter by configuring, in response to second type information of the terminal device matching the first type information, the at least one wireless communications parameter of the terminal device.

11 . The communications apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first feature information comprises first priority information, wherein the first priority information indicates at least one device priority, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to configure the at least one wireless communication parameter by configuring, in response to second priority information of the terminal device matching the first priority information, the at least one wireless communications parameter of the terminal device.

12 . The communications apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one wireless communications parameter comprises transmit power.

13 . A communications apparatus comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium configured to store instructions; and

one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory storage medium and configured to execute the instructions to cause the communications apparatus to:

obtain first feature information and first configuration information, wherein the first feature information corresponds to a first location within a vehicle, and wherein the first configuration information is for configuring at least one wireless communications parameter; and

send the first feature information and the first configuration information to a terminal device to instruct the terminal device to configure the at least one wireless communication parameter of the terminal device when a second location of the terminal device matches the first location.

14 . The communications apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first feature information identifies third location information in a cockpit.

15 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless communication parameter of the terminal device comprises transmit power.

16 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless communication parameter of the terminal device comprises a modulation and coding scheme.

17 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless communication parameter of the terminal device comprises a bit rate.

18 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless communication parameter of the terminal device comprises time-frequency resource configuration information.

19 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the first location within the vehicle comprises a seat position, a door position, or a window position.

20 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the network device comprises a cockpit domain controller or an intelligent terminal, and wherein the terminal device comprises an in-vehicle speaker, an in-vehicle microphone, or an in-vehicle screen.
