Changing a quality parameter in a surveillance message in response to a reply message

摘要

In some examples, a system that mounts on a vehicle includes a transceiver configured to transmit a first surveillance message including a first value for a quality parameter, wherein the first value indicates a first level of integrity or accuracy for the first surveillance message. The transceiver is also configured to receive a reply message to the first surveillance message. The system also includes processing circuitry configured to determine a second value for the quality parameter in response to the transceiver receiving the reply message, wherein the second quality parameter indicates a second level of integrity or accuracy for surveillance messages transmitted by the transceiver, and wherein the second level of integrity or accuracy is higher than the first level. The transceiver is configured to transmit a second surveillance message including the second value for the quality parameter in response to the processing circuitry determining the second quality parameter.
