A method and an apparatus are provided for monitoring or setting a quality of service for a data transmission via a data connection formed between at least one application and a transmission/reception device connected to the mobile communication device by way of at least one radio channel. The quality of service is established via setting a connection capacity and/or a data transmission mode such that an appropriate user satisfaction value corresponds at least to a minimum threshold. The quality of service can also be set in accordance with the utilization level of the corresponding radio network.

Method and apparatuses for monitoring or setting quality of service for a data transmission via a data connection in a radio network

A central communication unit of a motor vehicle and to a method for controlling the communication between a plurality of applications by way of such a central communication unit are provided. The central communication unit has a communication organization module, which can actively distribute the available external radio connection capacities between the central communication unit and at least one transmitting/receiving device to individual active data connections of the applications in accordance with predetermined criteria. In the central communication unit, the available external radio connection capacities are distributed among the individual data connections of the individual applications in a specific, controlled manner. The criteria for this are the demand for connection capacity and/or the priorities of the different data connections.

Central communication unit of a motor vehicle

Transmission channels are selected in a multiantenna network radio connection in which data are transmitted using radio signals between a radio base station and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal has at least one decoder, by means of which radio signals received by at least one of the terminal antennas can be decoded in order to obtain the data. By means of the transmission channel selection, it is decided which transmission path and/or which communication technology is to be used for the transmission of the data between the radio base station and the mobile terminal.

Method and device for selecting transmission channels in a network radio connection

Data sets are transmitted to mobile terminals, which are connected by a radio network to a data server connected to a data network, wherein the data server is configured to transmit the data sets via the radio network to terminals located in a radio cell of the radio network as a broadcast signal or optionally as an individual signal directed specifically to one or more terminals, wherein a total signal emitted into the radio cell contains a corresponding broadcast signal part and a corresponding individual signal part. In one embodiment, a user profile is associated with each of the terminals identified in the radio cell and the content of the data sets transmitted in the broadcast signal part in accordance with a determined broadcast signal part factor is compiled in accordance with the information stored in the user profiles.

Method for transmitting data sets to mobile terminals

A method and a device are disclosed for controlling at least one data connection and/or one data transmission through the at least one data connection for a mobile radio device. Control information that was previously collected by one or more agents coupled to the mobile radio device is taken into account in the control of the data connection and/or the data transmission. The control information contains route- and/or user-specific information. The collecting of data is carried out by an agent, which is preferably designed to be self-learning.
