Erweiterte physische Signalstruktur für LTE-V2V-Kommunikation

Ein Fahrzeug kann über einen physischen Kanal (einen Kanal von Fahrzeug zu Fahrzeug (V2V)), der unter Ausbreitungsbedingungen hoher Mobilität robust und zuverlässig ist, mit einem anderen Fahrzeug drahtlos kommunizieren. Der physische Kanal kann durch Modifizieren eines existierenden physischen Kanals von Long-Term Evolution (LTE), wie etwa eines Kanals der LTE Sidelink (SL), erzeugt werden. Zum Beispiel kann der physische V2V-Kanal durch Vergrößern der Subträgerbeabstandung von veralteten LTE-Kanälen (z.B. von 15 Kilohertz (kHz) auf 30 kHz) um einen bestimmten Faktor erzeugt werden.
