Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE). A method for providing a service in a first device in a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a first message related to the service; receiving, from a second device, a second message notifying that the second device enters a zone related to the service; and transmitting, to the second device, a third message indicating that the first device confirms that the second device enters the zone.

Claims

1. A method for providing a service related to pedestrian safety in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a road side unit (RSU), a first message indicating that a pedestrian light is on;

receiving, by the RSU, from a vehicle terminal that has received the first message, a second message notifying that the vehicle terminal is located in a zone related to the service; and

transmitting, to the vehicle terminal, a third message instructing the vehicle terminal to broadcast a warning for the pedestrian safety.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the third message further includes instruction that the vehicle terminal to transmit a fourth message notifying that the vehicle terminal is in the zone to a pedestrian terminal.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the third message is transmitted, if the second message is received from the vehicle terminal firstly.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the second message comprises at least one of:

identification information of the vehicle terminal;

identification information of the RSU;

location information of the vehicle terminal; and

speed information of the vehicle terminal.

4. A method for providing a service related to pedestrian safety in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a vehicle terminal, from a road side unit (RSU), a first message indicating that a pedestrian light is on;

transmitting, by the vehicle terminal, to the RSU, a second message notifying that the vehicle terminal is located in a first zone related to the service; and

receiving, from the RSU, a third message instructing the vehicle terminal to broadcast a warning for the pedestrian safety.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the third message further includes information instruction that the vehicle terminal to transmit a fourth message notifying that the vehicle terminal is in the first zone to a pedestrian terminal.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the third message is transmitted, if the second message is received from the vehicle terminal firstly.

7. A method of claim 5, further comprising:

transmitting the fourth message to a pedestrian terminal if the third message indicates that the vehicle terminal needs to transmit the fourth message.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein transmitting the fourth message to the pedestrian terminal comprises transmitting the fourth message to the pedestrian terminal based on a transmission beam selected for the pedestrian terminal.

9. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

identifying a second zone related to the service upon satisfying a preset criterion; and

transmitting, to a pedestrian terminal, a fifth message notifying that the vehicle terminal exists in the second zone.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the second zone is a part of the first zone.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, from the pedestrian terminal, a sixth message notifying that the pedestrian terminal has received the third message.

20. The method of claim 4, wherein the second message comprises at least one of:

identification information of the vehicle terminal;

identification information of the RSU;

location information of the vehicle terminal; and

speed information of the vehicle terminal.

12. A method for providing a service related to pedestrian safety in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a pedestrian terminal, from a road side unit (RSU), a first message indicating that a pedestrian light is on;

receiving, by the pedestrian terminal, from a vehicle terminal, a second message notifying that the vehicle terminal is in a first zone related to the service; and

running a safety service application for generating a warning.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the vehicle terminal transmits the second message, if the vehicle terminal firstly transmits a third message notifying that the vehicle terminal is in the first zone.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

receiving, from the vehicle terminal, a fourth message notifying that a second zone related to the service exists.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the fourth message is transmitted based on a transmission beam selected for the pedestrian terminal.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the second zone is a part of the first zone.

17. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

transmitting, to the vehicle terminal, a fourth message notifying that the pedestrian terminal exists.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

outputting a warning by the safety service application.

21. A road side unit (RSU) for providing a service related to pedestrian safety in a radio communication system, the RSU comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to;

transmit, a first message indicating that a pedestrian light is on;

receive, from a vehicle terminal that has received the first message, a second message notifying that the vehicle terminal is located in a zone related to the service; and

transmit, to the vehicle terminal, a third message instructing the vehicle terminal to broadcast a warning for the pedestrian safety.

22. A vehicle terminal for providing a service related to pedestrian safety in a radio communication system, the vehicle terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to;

receive, from a road side unit (RSU), a first message indicating that a pedestrian light is on;

transmit, to the RSU, a second message notifying that the vehicle terminal is located in a first zone related to the service; and

receive, from the RSU, a third message instructing the vehicle terminal to broadcast a warning for the pedestrian safety.

23. A pedestrian terminal for providing a service related to pedestrian safety in a radio communication system, the pedestrian terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to;

receive, from a road side unit (RSU), a first message indicating that a pedestrian light is on;

receive, from a vehicle terminal, a second message notifying that the vehicle terminal is in a first zone related to the service, and

run a safety service application for generating a warning.
