Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and computer readable medium for communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, if a terminal device transmits common information on the sidelink, the terminal device determines a first transmission power for the common information based on a reference transmission power and a power reduction value. In this case, the terminal device transmits the common information at the first transmission power. If the terminal device transmits HARQ feedback information, the terminal device transmits the HARQ feedback information at a second transmission power. In this way, more remaining power can be used for the HARQ feedback information and the transmission of HARQ feedback information can be improved.

Abstract

This structure management device comprises a detection unit, an extraction unit, a determination unit, and an identification unit. The detection unit detects, in each of time-series frames included in a video in which a road is captured by using an image-capturing device mounted on a moving body, structures shown in the frames. The extraction unit extracts a structure that satisfies a prescribed condition from among the detected structures, on the basis of the structure detection result and position information related to the position at which the video was captured. The determination unit determines whether or not the extracted structure matches a structure registered as a management target, on the basis of the position at which the extracted structure is installed. The identification unit identifies, from frames in which a structure determined as being the registered structure is shown, an overall frame that is a frame in which the overall detected structure is shown, and a close‑up frame that is a frame captured at a position closer to the structure than a position at which the overall frame is captured.
