Abstract

In one example a system to manage inter-vehicle communication in a decentralized vehicle-to-vehicle network comprises a plurality of sensors to detect context information about driving conditions proximate a first vehicle; a communication interface to manage communications between the first vehicle and a second vehicle; and a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the communication interface and comprising processing circuitry, to receive context information from the plurality of sensors; determine, from the context information, when the first vehicle is approaching a dead zone in which contact with a communication network may be lost; and in response to a determination that the first vehicle is approaching a dead zone in which contact with a communication network may be lost, to activate a synchronization frame broadcast module to broadcast a synchronization frame via the communication interface. Other examples may be described.
