Abstract

A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle includes: controlling, by a stationary control unit connected to a radio access network, an autonomous vehicle via a wireless connection of the autonomous vehicle to the radio access network, wherein the autonomous vehicle moves in a predefined path network; allocating, by the radio access network, spectral resources to the wireless connection while the autonomous vehicle is moving; and determining, by the stationary control unit, a path of the autonomous vehicle in the predefined path network depending on the spectral resources used by the wireless connection of the autonomous vehicle while moving along the determined path.
