A base station and a user equipment device and a method for sending data from the user equipment device to the base station is proposed. The method for transmitting data comprises the steps of determining disadvantageous transmission conditions for the user equipment device and if such disadvantageous transmission conditions are determined, transmitting data in a reserved frame.

Embodiments provide apparatuses, methods and computer programs for mobile communication systems comprising base station and mobile transceivers. An apparatus for a base station transceiver (and/or a mobile transceiver) of a mobile communication system, comprises a transceiver module to communicate with the mobile transceiver (and/or base station transceiver) using first and second communication channels, wherein the first channel is more reliable than the second channel. The apparatus further comprises a controller module to control the transceiver module, and to provide a data service to the mobile transceiver (and/or base station transceiver). The data service comprises first and second data packets, wherein the first data packets comprise information related to core data of the data service, and wherein the second data packets comprise information related to optional refinement data for the data service. The first data packets use the first channel, and the second data packets use the second channel.

A vehicle messaging transmission method, a vehicle messaging transmitter, a vehicle messaging reception method, a vehicle messaging receiver, an infrastructure node method, and infrastructure node and computer program products are disclosed. The vehicle messaging transmission method, comprises: detecting a vehicle event; and transmitting both a vehicle-to-vehicle message over a vehicle-to-vehicle radio link, the vehicle-to-vehicle message identifying the vehicle event and a vehicle-to-infrastructure message over a vehicle-to-infrastructure radio link, the vehicle-to-infrastructure message identifying the vehicle event. In this way, rather than periodically transmitting location messages, instead messages are only transmitted when a particular event occurs. This helps to reduce the volume of messages since the messages are only transmitted when an event occurs. Also transmitting a vehicle-to-vehicle message enables messages to be transmitted quickly, with reduced latency. Furthermore, because the messages are only sent when an event occurs, privacy and security concerns are reduced. As will be explained in more detail below, transmitting a vehicle-to-vehicle message enables other vehicles which receive the message to receive that message quickly and to respond rapidly to the event, while the vehicle-to-infrastructure message can be used to authenticate the validity of the vehicle-to-vehicle message and provide additional assurance to the receiving vehicle that the message is genuine.
