  • Claim: 1.-44. (canceled)
  • Claim: 45. An apparatus comprising: a receiver unit configured to receive data representing a second high-definition map; a processor unit is configured for obtaining sensor data representing an environmental condition in a periphery of a device; the sensor data comprising information about a size, a speed and/or a position of an object in the periphery; and is configured to fuse the second high-definition map and the sensor data so as to provide a first high-definition map; a transmitter unit configured for transmitting a result of fusing the second high-definition map and the sensor data.
  • Claim: 46. The apparatus if claim 45, comprising: a command generator unit configured to generate a command signal representing a vehicle control command for a vehicle carrying the apparatus based on the first high-definition map.
  • Claim: 47. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the second high-definition map is a map with a high information resolution and enables a vehicle to be driven autonomously and covers an area that is wider or larger when compared to a range being sensed with the sensor unit.
  • Claim: 48. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured for renewing or updating data of the received second high-definition map in the first high-definition map by the sensor data with the fusing.
  • Claim: 49. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured for renewing or updating data of the received second high-definition map in the first high-definition map by the sensor data with the fusing, and wherein the processor unit is configured to update or to refresh only such areas or data objects in the second high-definition map for which sensor data is available.
  • Claim: 50. The apparatus of claim 45, configured to communicate to a conventional V2X network and/or a backhaul network that receives and/or transmits information indicating a speed for nodes in the network.
  • Claim: 51. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the receiver unit is configured to receive data representing at least a third high-definition map; wherein the processor unit is configured to fuse the second high-definition map, the third high-definition map and the sensor data so as to provide the first high-definition map.
  • Claim: 52. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein an area of the first high-definition map is greater than an area of the periphery.
  • Claim: 53. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the receiver unit is configured to receive the second high-definition map using a millimeter-wavelength signal and/or to transmit the first high-definition map using the millimeter-wavelength signal.
  • Claim: 54. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to receive information indicating a region of interest in the first high-definition map and to provide the first high-definition map to comprise a first degree of resolution in the region of interest and so as to comprise a second degree of resolution in a region outside the region of interest, wherein the first degree of resolution is higher than the second degree of resolution.
  • Claim: 55. The apparatus of claim 54, wherein the first degree is higher than the second degree by a factor of at least 2.
  • Claim: 56. The apparatus of claim 54, wherein the region of interest comprises a portion of at most 50% of the high-definition map.
  • Claim: 57. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the transmitter unit is configured for transmitting the first high-definition map with a bitrate that is at least 2 Gbps.
  • Claim: 58. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate the first high-definition map as a frame of the first high-definition map, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate a plurality of frames of the first high-definition map, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate the plurality of frames with a distance in time that is at most 10 ms.
  • Claim: 59. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate the first high-definition map comprising a data size that is at least 2.75 Mbyte.
  • Claim: 60. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate the first high-definition map so as to comprise map information within a radius of at least 300 m around the apparatus.
  • Claim: 61. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the sensor unit is configured to scan the periphery of the apparatus using an imaging technique for providing the sensor data, wherein the environmental condition is a distance to detected objects within the periphery.
  • Claim: 62. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the sensor unit comprises a LiDAR sensor.
  • Claim: 63. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to determine a portion of details of the first high-definition map relating to a traffic parameter of the apparatus in the first high-definition map, wherein the apparatus comprises a legacy interface configured to transmit the portion of details according to a legacy V2V or V2X communication scheme.
  • Claim: 64. The apparatus of claim 45; wherein the sensor unit is configured to scan the periphery of the apparatus using a LiDAR sensor, wherein the environmental condition is a distance to detected objects within the periphery; wherein the second high-definition map is a map received from a further apparatus, the second high-definition map comprising information relating to objects in an area of the second high-definition map generated by the further apparatus; and wherein the processor unit is configured to adapt the information relating to the objects using the distance between the apparatus and the objects detected by the sensor unit and using an actual position of the apparatus.
  • Claim: 65. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate the first high-definition map to comprise a same coordinate system when compared to the second high-definition map.
  • Claim: 66. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to fuse the second high-definition map, the sensor data and a static map so as to provide the first high-definition map, wherein the apparatus is configured to not transmit the static map when transmitting a result of fusing the second high-definition map and the sensor data.
  • Claim: 67. The apparatus of claim 45, wherein the processor unit is configured to generate the first high-definition map so as to comprise information indicating an age of information of the first high-definition map, wherein the processor unit is configured to discount aged information in the second high-definition map when providing the first high-definition map, the aged information comprising an age above a threshold value.
  • Claim: 68. Method for generating fusing sensor data and a first high-definition map, the method comprising: providing a first high-definition map; providing sensor data with a sensor unit, the sensor data representing an environmental condition in a periphery of an apparatus, the sensor data comprising information about a size, a speed and/or a position of an object in the periphery; receiving data representing a second high-definition map; fusing the second high-definition map and the sensor data so as to provide the first high-definition map; transmitting a result of fusing the second high-definition map and the sensor data.
