term
ITS station (ITS-S)
definition

entity in a communication network capable of communicating with other similar entities

NOTE 1 to entry: From an abstract point of view, the term “ITS station” refers to a set of functionalities. The term is often used to refer to an instantiation of these functionalities in a physical unit. Often the appropriate interpretation is obvious from the context. The proper name of physical instantiation of an ITS-S is ITS station unit (ITS-SU).

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S host
definition

application and facilities functionality provided in an ITS-S together with a minimum communication functionality to connect to the ITS-S internal network

standard (extract)
term
ITS station state information (ITS-SSI)
definition

Information about state of ITS station

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S service
definition

communication functionality offered by an ITS-S to an ITS-S application

standard (extract)
term
mobile station (MS)
definition

mobile communication facility capable of receiving and transmitting information from/to the base stations

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S application
definition

functionality in an ITS-S that uses ITS-S services to connect to one or more other ITS-S application

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S gateway
definition

gateway functionality provided in the facilities layer of an ITS-S

standard (extract)
term
CALM-aware application
definition

ITS-S application which is capable of supporting features specific to CALM

NOTE CI selection management is an example.

standard (extract)
term
CALM M5
definition

standard (extract)
term
beacon data
definition

information on the identity and location and movement of a CALM station together with a time stamp

standard (extract)
term
ITS application
definition

instantiation of an ITS service that involves an association of two or more complementary ITS-S application processes

NOTE 1 to entry: Fragments of an application may also reside in nodes that are not ITS stations.

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S management application
definition
standard (extract)
term
application data unit (ADU)
definition

data unit exchanged between ITS-S application processes

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S application process

definition
standard (extract)
term
ITS-S border router
definition

ITS-S router with additional functionality that provides connectivity to other ITS communication nodes over external networks

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S internal router
definition

ITS-S router that connects two or more ITS station-internal networks

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S Unit (ITS-SU)
definition

implementation of an ITS-S

standard (extract)
term
ITS-S communication unit (ITS-SCU)
definition

physical unit in an ITS-SU containing a part or all of the functionality of an ITS-S

NOTE 1 to entry: In case an ITS-SU consists of a single physical unit, the ITS-SU and the ITS-SCU are identical. In case an ITS-SU consists of more than one ITS-SCU, then these ITS-SCUs are interconnected via the ITS stationinternal network of the ITS-SU.

standard (extract)
term
