Abstract: Apparatuses, a method, and a computer program for influencing the selection of a frequency band for wireless communication with a mobile station. Disclosed is an apparatus, method, and computer program for controlling a frequency band selection for wireless communication with a mobile station in a wireless local area network—WLAN—, wherein at least a first and a second frequency band are selectable, the first and second frequency bands each having multiple transmission channels; and having a transmission circuit for transmitting at least one command to the mobile station that asks the mobile station to change from the first to the second frequency band, or vice versa.

Abstract: A method for receiving and outputting radio signals to set up a BLUETOOTH® connection which includes receiving, within a predetermined period, at least two of the advertising data packets which originate from a device; determining starting times of the two advertising data packets; and outputting, after the predetermine period, of the device's own advertising data packets, at the device's own starting times which are selected so that the device's own advertising data packets do not chronologically overlap with advertising data packets which are output by the device after the predetermined period.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a computer program for characterizing antenna units in a predefined space. The antenna units provide coverage with radio services for a mobile transceiver in the space. An antenna unit is operated in two modes of operation, sending and receiving. At least one first antenna unit has multiple radiation characteristics. The method includes operating the first antenna unit in a first mode of operation and operating a second antenna unit in the second mode of operation and varying the radiation characteristics of the first antenna unit and capturing information about transmission properties between the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit for the radiation characteristics. The method also includes characterizing the antenna units based on the information about the transmission properties.

Abstract: A method for checking an authorization of a mobile communication device for operating a vehicle engine of a vehicle which includes determining a position of a mobile communication device. The position of the mobile communication device is inside or outside the vehicle. The method also includes receiving a digital key value from the mobile communication device and checking the authorization of the mobile communication device for operating the vehicle engine, based on the position of the mobile communication device and based on the digital key value.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method, and a computer program for a vehicle having at least one interior antenna and at least one exterior antenna. The apparatus includes a transceiver module for communication via a frequency band and a control module to control the transceiver module. The control module provides signal processing for the transceiver module for signals from the at least one interior antenna and the at least one exterior antenna based on a combination of the signals from the at least one interior antenna and the at least one exterior antenna.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for influencing the selection of a frequency band for wireless communication with a mobile station. The apparatus includes a transmission circuit that sends a beacon signal at a first transmission power in the frequency band. The apparatus also includes a recognition circuit that recognizes a connection request from a mobile station in the frequency band. The apparatus also includes a control circuit that responds to the connection request by prompting a transmission of the beacon signal at a second transmission power, which is different than the first transmission power, if the mobile station is unknown to the apparatus. Also disclosed are corresponding methods and computer programs.

Abstract: The method simplifies the formation of groups of devices in secure spaces. Such spaces may be passenger compartments of vehicles, and the passenger compartments can additionally be partitioned into zones. Each zone can be allocated a group. For instance, driver and front-seat passenger can be allocated to one group. The travelers in the rear seat-rows can be allocated to another group. This allows data exchange with driver and front-seat passenger that relates to the vehicle route or even relates to vehicle assistance systems. The other group, for instance, children travelling in the vehicle, can share other data, for instance, for entertainment purposes. The acceptance of systems offered in the vehicle can be increased by simple group formation.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method, and a computer program for a transceiver system having a first communications module for communication in a first mobile radio system and a second communications module for communication in a second radio system. The apparatus has a control module to adapt a transmission power used in the first mobile radio system on the basis of an activity of the second communications module in the second mobile radio system.

Abstract: An apparatus, a vehicle, a method, a computer program and a radio system for radio coverage in a predefined space. The method includes operating at least one transmission and/or reception antenna in the predefined space to cover at least one subregion of the predefined space using at least one element having an active area in the predefined space taking into consideration the subregion to be covered, wherein the active area of the element influences the propagation conditions of signals of the radio system.

Abstract: System and method for detecting an input for an apparatus inside a vehicle, wherein at least one moving user device generates a changing electromagnetic field. A detection unit detects at least one field parameter of the electromagnetic field, wherein the detected field parameter is a function of the geometric arrangement of the user device relative to the detection unit. A radio signature of the user device is determined based on the detected field parameters, and a signature sequence is determined based on a sequence of time-sequentially determined radio signatures of the user device. The determined signature sequence is then assigned to an input gesture, and whereby, based on the input gesture, a signal is generated and output.
