WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of wireless inter-vehicle communication, comprising:
- storing a message packet in a shared memory location of a first communication device, wherein the shared memory location is wirelessly accessible by one or more other communication devices;
assessing, at a second communication device, whether or not the message packet stored in the shared memory location of the first communication device is intended to be received at the second communication device;
assessing, at the second communication device, whether or not to accept the message packet from the shared memory location of the first communication device; and
if it is determined that the message packet should be accepted from the shared memory location of the first communication device, receiving at least a portion of the message packet at the second communication device.

Abstract
Provided in some embodiments is a method of wireless inter-vehicle communication. The method includes storing a message packet in a shared memory location of a first communication device. The shared memory location is wirelessly accessible by one or more other communication devices. The method also includes assessing, at a second communication device, whether or not the message packet stored in the shared memory location of the first communication device is intended to be received at the second communication device and assessing, at the second communication device, whether or not to accept the message packet from the shared memory location of the first communication device. Further, the method includes receiving at least a portion of the message packet at the second communication device if it is determined that the message packet should be accepted from the shared memory location of the first communication device.

11. A method of wireless inter-vehicle communication, comprising:
-
generating, at a first communication device in a first vehicle, a message packet comprising a message and a label indicative of an intended recipient; storing the message packet in a shared memory location of the first communication device, wherein at least the label indicative of the intended recipient is accessible by one or more other communication devices; assessing, at a second communication device in a second vehicle and associated with the intended recipient, whether at least a portion of the message packet comprising the label is intended for delivery to at least the second communication device associated with the intended recipient; assessing, at the second communication device, based at least in part on the label whether at least a portion of the message packet comprising the label is intended for delivery to at least the second communication device associated with the intended recipient; assessing, at the second communication device associated with the intended recipient, whether or not to receive the message packet; and receiving, at the second communication device associated with the intended recipient, at least the message of the message packet. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
