A transceiver for a vehicle for communication in a mobile radio system includes one or more interfaces for a plurality of antennas, and a transceiving device configured to communicate via the one or more interfaces and via at least a part of the plurality of antennas in the mobile radio system. The transceiver also includes a control device configured to control the transceiving device and the one or more interfaces, where the control device determines, via a first cluster of the plurality of antennas, information about a radio channel between the first cluster of antennas and a base station of the mobile radio system, and communicates via a second cluster of the plurality of antennas with the base station of the mobile radio system.

A method for resource management in a vehicle-based mobile communications unit. In the method, during a mobile communication transaction conducted via two simultaneously established mobile communication channels, the user-nonspecific data components of the currently active identity profile are compared with one another to determine the mobile communication services provider currently being used. In case of a mobile communication services provider identity determined within the context of the comparison, one of the mobile communication channels is switched off and the mobile communications are conducted via the other mobile communication channel.

A method for terminal-to-terminal communication in a cellular mobile radio network includes providing a radio signal interference map that is indicative of a location-dependent radio signal interference disturbance within a coverage area of a base station. The location-dependent radio signal interference disturbance is indicative of a radio signal interference disturbance of a terminal-to-terminal communication, and the radio signal interference map is based on a learning algorithm for a geographic radio signal interference map. Configuration information regarding a configuration setting of a radio transmission for a terminal-to-terminal communication between a first mobile radio communication terminal and a second mobile radio communication terminal is provided based on the location-dependent radio signal interference disturbance of the radio signal interference map. The configuration setting enables a statement regarding a configuration to be performed in respect of the radio transmission. The method also includes setting up a terminal-to-terminal communication between the first mobile radio communication terminal and the second mobile radio communication terminal, taking into account of the provided configuration information regarding the configuration setting.

An ultra-small cell base station for a vehicle is coupleable, for signal exchange, to a first antenna assembly, which is configured to receive radio signals of a cellular radio user device situated inside the vehicle and to emit radio signals to be received by the user device. The ultra-small cell base station is also coupleable to a second antenna assembly, configured to receive radio signals of a further cellular radio user device situated outside the vehicle and to emit radio signals to be received by the further user device. The ultra-small cell base station is also coupleable to a network-side antenna assembly of the vehicle configured to receive radio signals emitted by a pre-defined static cellular radio base station and to emit radio signals to be received by the static base station. The ultra-small cell base station is configured to operate a first and a second small cell.

A device for a relay transceiver in a mobile communication system, which includes a base station transceiver and a packet data network interface, includes at least one transceiver module configured to communicate with at least one mobile transceiver and with the base station transceiver. The device further includes a control module configured to determine, on the basis of a data packet received by the at least one mobile transceiver, information about a quality criterion of a service associated with the data packet, and to establish, on the basis of the information about the quality criterion, a data connection to the packet data network interface via the base station transceiver.

A non-coherent multi-user MIMO communication method is disclosed. Firstly, a data transmission method includes the acts of a) estimating the signal-to-noise ratio for each receiver; b) selecting a power sharing factor for each receiver; c) encoding information to be sent to each receiver into a symbol for each receiver; and d) transmitting, by a transmitter, a signal that includes the power sharing factors and the symbols for all of the receivers. Furthermore, a reception method includes the acts of: i) receiving the power sharing factor; ii) decoding the signal corresponding to the highest power sharing factor; iii) determining if the signal decoded in step ii) corresponds to the current receiver; iv) if the decoded signal corresponds to the current receiver, finalize the reception; and v) if the decoded signal does not correspond to the current receiver, proceed with the following power sharing factors.
