Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a driving maneuver for creating a gap in the traffic flow, which is multiple lanes wide, involving a first vehicle and a plurality of second vehicles. The first vehicle, which requests the gap in the traffic flow periodically sends corresponding request signals at least to a plurality of second vehicles. The second vehicles that intend to comply with the request send out corresponding signaling signals. As soon as a sufficient minimum number of second vehicles that intend to comply with the request can be determined, the second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver for creating the gap in the traffic flow are informed. The second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver agree on the beginning of the driving maneuver and mutually coordinate their trajectories. One of the second vehicles is designated as the maneuver leader and transmits at least one characteristic of the gap in the traffic flow to the first vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for configuring a channel coding during a transmission of data packets from a transmitter to a receiver, which are both located in a traffic environment, wherein a control apparatus of the transmitter ascertains environment data, describing the traffic environment, and orientation data, describing a relative orientation of the transmitter and the receiver, and the environment data and the orientation data are taken as a basis for using a radio link model to forecast, by means of a forecast, whether a currently selected coding configuration of the channel coding can be used to successfully decode and/or reconstruct a data packet currently needing to be sent in the receiver, and if the forecast signals a lack of success, then a switch is effected to an extended coding configuration that produces greater redundancy than the current coding configuration, and the data packet to be sent is sent using the extended coding configuration.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of providing a current local environment status map for a motor vehicle, and to a motor vehicle and a system for carrying out the method. The method includes generating own driving situation data which describe a current, position-related vehicle parameter of the motor vehicle, and generating environment situation data which describe a current arrangement of a further motor vehicle located in a predefined environment of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method for providing Internet access to a customer of a service provider wherein the service provider takes over the costs for the customer's Internet use. The method includes the customer's user equipment generating a service start notification message to a server of the service provider in response to the customer agreeing to the service and commencement of use of the service. The service start notification message triggers sending a query to a database of the service provider containing customer data, and confirming the customer has access rights for getting Internet access at the service provider's expenses. The service provider generates and sends out a request message to the mobile communication provider of the customer and requests an intermediate change of the customer's mobile communication contract so the costs for loading Internet data on the customer's user equipment will be temporarily charged to the service provider rather than the customer.
