CAR2X communication system, apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An apparatus for communicating between a first device and a second device, comprising:
- distance control circuitry comprising at least one transceiver configured to transmit and receive distance control signals and to detect a distance between the first device and a remote object based on a first transmitted distance control signal and a first received distance control signal reflected by the remote object; and
communication circuitry coupled to the transceiver and configured to modulate first user data of the first device onto a second transmitted distance control signal, and to extract second user data from a second received distance control signal received from the second device.

Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods for communicating between a first device and a second device are provided. Distance control circuitry including at least one transceiver is used to transmit and receive distance control signals and to detect a distance between the first device and a remote object based on a transmitted distance control signal and a received distance control signal reflected by the remote object. Communication circuitry coupled to the transceiver is used to modulate user data of the first device onto a transmitted distance control signal and/or to extract user data from a distance control signal received from the second device.

15. A motor vehicle, comprising:
-
distance control circuitry comprising at least one transceiver configured to transmit and receive Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signals as distance control signals and to detect a distance between the motor vehicle and a remote object based on a first transmitted distance control signal and a first received distance control signal reflected by the remote object; and communication circuitry coupled to the transceiver and configured to modulate first user data onto a second transmitted distance control signal during a first data communication period between two consecutive FMCW ramp sequences of the second transmitted distance control signal, and configured to extract second user data from a second received distance control signal received from a remote device during a second data communication period between two consecutive FMCW ramp sequences of the second received distance control signal.

16. A method for Car2X communication, comprising:
-
detecting, during a distance detection period, a distance between a motor vehicle and a remote object based on a first distance control transmit signal and a first distance control receive signal reflected by the remote object; and during data communication period; modulating first user data onto the first distance control transmit signal; and receiving a second distance control transmit signal from a remote device and extracting second user data from the received second distance control transmit signal of the remote device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
