Abstract: A method (30) of digital remodulation of a received or source signal using a digital audio radio (116) having a first digital radio frequency path (119 to 116) or using a first digital radio frequency comprises the steps of re-encoding (38) the received signal to provide a re-encoded digital signal, reformatting (40) the re-encoded digital signal into a new digital format signal, and digitally modulating (42) a radio frequency carrier with the new digital format signal. The method further comprises the step of selectively switching (42) a radio frequency path of the digital audio radio from the first digital radio frequency path to a second radio frequency path (114 to 116) or from the first digital radio frequency to a second digital radio frequency having the radio frequency carrier with the new digital format signal.

Abstract: Various applications, systems and methods for using, and enhancing V2V communications for various purposes are described. These systems and methods leverage various aspects of satellite radio broadcasts in combination with V2V communications. In some embodiments, V2V-enabled vehicles can receive advertisements or offers from RSEs, or even other V2V enabled vehicles, in a defined Target Region, which may then be played to a user in-vehicle once a given Trigger Region has been entered. By logging all advertisements or offers played to a user and sending the log to an RSE, for example, and from there to a content provider (e.g., an SDARS service operator), verified delivery of advertisements is achieved, which allows the content provider to obtain significant revenues from advertisers. In return for uploading the playback record from the vehicle to the RSE, a variety of incentives may be offered, such as (i) free or discounted satellite radio subscription; (ii) download credits for music or videos from an online store; (iii) reduced or free tolls on toll roads (e.g., RSE embedded in a toll collection plaza); (iv) premium audio or video content, (v) credit at an online store; and (vi) a special coupon code redeemable for merchandise.
