INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY CO-EXISTENCE METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A method for communication within a cooperative intelligent transport system. The method comprises receiving, in a first node, a first intelligent transport system message from another node of the cooperative intelligent transport system. In the first node, a technology status of that another node is identified. The technology status comprises information whether or not the first intelligent transport system message was transmitted configured according to a predetermined first intelligent transport system technology, and information whether or not the first intelligent transport system message comprises a dual technology indicator. The dual technology indicator is an information element identifying that the node transmitting the first intelligent transport system message is capable of communicating intelligent transport system messages according to the first intelligent transport system technology as well as according to a predetermined second technology. A corresponding node for communication within a cooperative intelligent transport system is also disclosed.
