Abstract

A vehicle includes a processor configured to transmit a mmWave beacon signal during a probe phase of a first period; receive one or more mmWave beacon signals from one or more vehicles; generate a mmWave communication intention message for another period that is after the first period based on the received one or more mmWave beacon signals; and broadcast, during the first period, a packet including a mmWave transmission schedule for the another period generated based on the mmWave communication intention message.
