Abstract: A method for collective acquisition of data of road users including the selection of the mobile devices whose data are intended to be acquired and transmitted to the at least one data acquisition computer depending on at least the connection status of the mobile devices in the mobile radio network.

Abstract: A method for coordinating an emergency braking of a platoon of communicatively-coupled transportation vehicles. In response to an emergency situation, individual braking control settings are centrally determined for one or more transportation vehicles of the platoon by a managing entity managing the platoon. The individual braking control settings are communicated from the managing entity) to the one or more transportation vehicles of the platoon. The one or more transportation vehicles of the platoon brake in accordance with the respective individual braking control settings received from the managing entity.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and computer programs for a local platooning controller and a global platooning controller and a platooning system. The apparatus for a local platooning controller of a transportation vehicle includes a transceiver module which receives information related to a control command from a global platooning controller and transmits feedback information to the global platooning controller. The apparatus includes a control module which controls the transceiver module. The control module determines information related to a deviation between control information received with information related to the control command from the global platooning controller and an actual state of the transportation vehicle, and effects transmission of feedback information based on the information related to the deviation.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and computer programs for estimating a multi-hop radio channel between a transmitter, one or more relay stations, and a receiver in a mobile communication system. The apparatus includes one or more interfaces to obtain information related to a position and a state of movement of the transmitter and receiver, information related to an environment of the transmitter, the receiver, and the one or more relay stations, information related to channel state feedback of single-hop radio channels between the transmitter, the receiver, and the one or more relay stations, and information related to delays of the channel state feedback. The apparatus also includes a control module to control the one or more.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the interference level for a wireless communication from a first mobile station to a second mobile station including detecting an interference level at a transmitting station and providing for elevation of the direction of beam for the signal transmissions from the first mobile station to the second mobile station relative to an angle between the ground plane and the current direction of beam for the transmissions from the first mobile station to the second mobile station. Such lifting up of the beam avoids interference at the place of a third mobile station located at the direction of signal transmission but with further distance, since the signal strength then vanishes relatively quickly if the beam is lifted up.

Abstract: A method for collective acquisition of data of road users including the selection of the mobile devices whose data are intended to be acquired and transmitted to the at least one data acquisition computer depending on at least the connection status of the mobile devices in the mobile radio network.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium having instructions for Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication. Messages are exchanged between a first vehicle and a second vehicle. Each of the messages includes a hash pointer to the respective last previous message. After completion of the exchange of messages, a hash pointer to the last message of the exchange of messages is signed individually by each participant and published. In case the resulting negotiated contract has to be changed, a further message is added to the exchange of messages, which includes a hash pointer to the last message of the exchange of messages. Finally a hash pointer to the further message is published.

Abstract: A method for resource allocation in a mobile communication system including base stations from mobile communication providers and participants from mobile communication providers, wherein each provider has assigned a dedicated spectrum for resource allocation for its own participants, wherein the participants from the providers communicate directly among each other, wherein a provider allocates a part of its dedicated spectrum for the direct communication among the participants from the providers, wherein the part of a dedicated spectrum of a provider for the direct communication among the participants from the providers is divided into sections, with each provider having been assigned at least one section of the part of the dedicated spectrum of the provider, wherein the resource allocation management functionality for allocating a part of its dedicated spectrum for the direct communication among the participants from the providers is shifted from provider to provider from time slice to time slice.

Abstract: A mobile communication handover method which takes into account information about special equipment of the mobile telephone network subscriber station during a handover process for the mobile telephone network subscriber station wherein information about special equipment of the mobile telephone network subscriber station is transmitted from the mobile telephone network subscriber station to a mobile telephone network management unit, which takes the information about the special equipment into account during the handover process.

Abstract: A method for organizing the communication between mobile radio network subscriber stations in a mobile radio cell, wherein a mobile radio network management unit, especially the scheduler of a base station, in the mobile radio cell performs the allocation of the radio resources. The mobile radio network management unit defines for the mobile radio cell a number of subradio areas in which a number of mobile radio subscriber stations are allowed to use the same radio resources for direct communication with one another in parallel operation.

Abstract: A method for the acquisition of collective surroundings information for cooperative and/or autonomous driving. The method includes a vehicle equipped with an on-board unit and surroundings observation apparatus which produces a report about a detected vehicle not equipped with an on-board unit and transmits the report to the further vehicles which are moving or are located in the respective area. The further vehicles which receive the report transmit back a confirmation message to the reporting vehicle and confirm that the further vehicles are happy with the report. The further vehicles then refrain from transmitting a separate report about the unequipped vehicle.

Abstract: A method for adapting at least one parameter of a communication system between two subscribers, wherein at least one subscriber is mobile, in which case a current position of the mobile subscriber is determined at a time and a channel quality for a future time is estimated on the basis of the current position using an environmental model, wherein at least one parameter is changed at the future time on the basis of the estimation. Also disclosed is an apparatus.
