A communication apparatus for inter-vehicular communication according to the present invention includes: a network state estimating unit configured to estimate network state information indicating a current network state based on driving information and channel state information of neighboring vehicles; a network access controller configured to control whether to transmit a message based on the network state information; a transmission scheduler configured to control a transmission time point of the message based on the network state information; and a transmission buffer unit configured to delay transmission of the message according to the control of the transmission time point of the transmission scheduler.

Communication apparatus and method for performing inter-vehicular communication

The present invention relates to a vehicle communication system and method used when transmitting and receiving driving information of a vehicle to and from surrounding vehicles. According to the present invention, a host vehicle may transmit and receive driving information to and from its surrounding vehicles to find out information about a position, a speed, a driving direction, etc., thereby decreasing traffic accident risk. However, transmission and reception of the driving information may not be smoothly performed depending on surrounding communication conditions. The present invention provides a communication congestion control device and method for smoothly performing data transmission and reception between vehicles depending on surrounding conditions, by setting a time frame variably depending on surrounding communication conditions and transmitting data on the basis of the changed time frame.
