Abstract: A wireless interface provides a location-dependent transmission bandwidth for mobile access to a stationary data network. To this end, historical values relating to wireless interface parameters for a plurality of locations and for predetermined times are stored in a geo-database. Expected values for future data transmissions are ascertained from stored values. At the outset, a probable route for movement and an estimated arrival time of the mobile terminal at a location along the route are ascertained. The expected transmission bandwidth at the location is then ascertained based on the geo-database. During the transmission of data, at least one data transmission is regulated in accordance with the transmission bandwidths expected to be available along the route.

Abstract: A technique for determining shifted cargo on a vehicle is described. A method realization of this technique comprises the steps of acquiring data from a positional sensor and determining a change in a balance of loads upon wheels of the vehicle. Shifted cargo is determined if the change in load balance does not correspond to the positional data. Furthermore, a device and system suited for carrying out the method are provided.
