MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631047190 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Rourkela, Orissa, on April 13, for 'communication resource allocation system and method for autonomous vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Nayak, Prof. Biraja Prasad; Hota, Dr. Lopamudra; Kumar, Dr. Arun; Mishra, Dr. Tapas Kumar; and Turuk, Prof. Ashok Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A communication resource allocation system (100) and method (200) for autonomous vehicles are disclosed. The system (100) comprises plurality of vehicles (110) configured to communicate via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) links and a controller (120) connected with each vehicle (110). The controller (120) includes a packet management module (130) configured to retain only a most recent packet of a communication flow and discard previously stored packets of the same flow, a mode selection module (140) configured to select between a first communication mode via an infrastructure-assisted resource allocation and a second communication mode via distributed vehicle-based resource allocation, a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) framework (150), and a global critic module (160) configured to train cooperative learning across the vehicles (110). The controller (120) dynamically allocates communication resources to minimize Age of Information (AoI) and transmission power, thereby ensuring timely delivery of safety-critical messages under varying traffic conditions."
