Abstract
An apparatus and a method for transmitting information in vehicle-to-vehicle communication based on IEEE802.11 standard WLAN, which involves both safety information based on the IEEE802.11p standard and non-safety-related information based on another IEEE802.11 standard being transmitted. The apparatus is equipped with a transmission and/or reception device which has a WLAN chipset. In order to achieve the vehicle-to-vehicle communication with a single piece of hardware, provision is made for the WLAN chipset to be able to be changed over by a control command between a first mode based on the IEEE802.11p standard and a second mode based on another IEEE802.11 standard and for the apparatus to have a control device which changes over the mode of the WLAN chipset using a control command.
