Abstract

Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and apparatuses for health monitoring of wireless connections among vehicles. An example method can include receiving as input to processing circuitry configured and arranged to monitor a health status of wireless communications links between a plurality of vehicles in a vehicle platoon, object information including coordinates of stationary and moving objects, and determining, using the received object information, a relative location of a vehicle among the plurality of vehicles in the vehicle platoon. The method further includes determining, based on the received object information and the relative location of the vehicle, physical parameters for line-of-sight wireless communications between the vehicle and other vehicles in the vehicle platoon. The health status of the wireless communications links can be determined between the plurality of vehicles in the vehicle platoon using the physical parameters for the line-of-sight wireless communications.
