Abstract:
A method for supporting vehicular communications in a cellular network includes analyzing whether an incoming message is a vehicle data message or a base station control message. In the case that the incoming message is a base station control message of a specific base station: updating and/or storing the network operating parameters of the specific base station for controlling a transmission of selected vehicle data messages to the specific base station. In the case that the incoming message is a vehicle data message of a sending vehicle, determining at least one destination vehicle out of a provided and/or stored list of registered vehicles participating in the vehicular communication. The method also includes transmitting the vehicle data message to the at least one destination vehicle dependent on the at least one operating parameter of a respective receiving base station the at least one destination vehicle is connected to.
