    Abstract: A mobile object communication system includes a mobile object side device used in a mobile object and a service provision device located outside the mobile object. The service provision device performs a communication with the mobile object side device for providing a predetermined service using one of multiple service channels, and transmits, using the control channel, service start information, which is required for starting the communication using the service channel and indicates the service channel used in the communication. The service provision device designates a communication method for performing the communication with the mobile object side device using the service channel indicated by the service start information. The service provision device transmits the service start information designating an immediate start method in a latter half of the control channel time period.

    Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus includes: a short-range receiver that designates, as a reception channel, a control channel or one of service channels; a channel switcher section that switches between the control channel and the service channel in designating the reception channel; a collision determiner section that determines presence of service provider stations and a collision of service start informational items transmitted by the respective service provider stations based on (i) that a service execution informational item is received under states where the service channel is designated as the reception channel, and simultaneously (ii) that a reception error is detected under states where the control channel is designated as the reception channel; and a collision notice processor section that transmits a signal collision notice from a predetermined notice transmitter based on that the collision determiner section determines the collision of the service start informational items.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a short range receiving unit, a channel control unit for controlling a setting of a reception channel of the short range receiving unit to a control channel or a service channel, and an execution service determination unit. The channel control unit sets the reception channel as the control channel during a control channel time frame, and maintains the reception channel as the control channel during an extension time frame even after the short range receiving unit receives the service start information. The execution service determination unit performs an execution service determination process for determining, as an execution service, a service having the highest priority out of the services indicated by the service start information received by the short range receiving unit while the reception channel is set as the control channel by the channel control unit.

    Abstract: An in-vehicle unit, which is used in each of host vehicles including a subject vehicle and nearby vehicles, includes an inter-vehicle communicator to perform inter-vehicle communication. The in-vehicle unit in the subject vehicle includes a criterion value setting section and a different-unit anomaly detection section. The criterion value setting section receives a different-unit installation state index via the inter-vehicle communicator and sets successively a criterion value of an installation state index from the received different-unit installation state index specified based on an output value from a sensor instrument that successively outputs an output value corresponding to an installation state of the in-vehicle unit on each nearby vehicle. The different-unit anomaly detection section detects an abnormal installation state of the in-vehicle unit on a target nearby vehicle by comparing the criterion value with the different-unit installation state index received from the target nearby vehicle.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device having a wireless receiver and a wireless transmitter includes a control circuit having a processor. The control circuit successively calculates a metrics value indicating a communication success rate with a different wireless communication device based on an electric wave received from the different wireless communication device. The control circuit also updates a metrics value corresponding to the different wireless communication device in a metrics table where metrics values are associated with respective different wireless communication devices. The control circuit determines whether the metric values in the metrics table are each within a fulfilled communication range indicating a communication success rate being high, and transmits the transfer target data from the wireless transmitter in a broadcast mode in response to the number of the metrics values within the fulfilled communication range being within a transfer performable range.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device for vehicles, which is used in a vehicle and is able to designate a plurality of service channels, includes a first wireless receiver, a second wireless receiver, and a reception control unit. The first wireless receiver designates, as a reception channel, a service channel identified from the service channels based on a kind of a service, and receives service execution information to execute the service. The second wireless receiver designates, as a reception channel, a control channel having a frequency channel different from those of the service channels, and receives service announcement information containing channel information. The reception control unit causes the first wireless receiver to set the reception channel based on the channel information contained in the service announcement information received by the second wireless receiver.
