An exemplary technique is provided for operating a vehicle mountable controller that is mounted to a vehicle and used to control at least a part of the vehicle's operation. The vehicle mountable controller may be used as a network element in a computer network. An idle controller resource of the vehicle mountable controller is provided for remote processing to the computer network. The technique includes determining an operating mode of the vehicle in which the vehicle mountable controller is mounted, and performing a test to determine whether to use the vehicle mountable controller as a network element in the computer network based on the operating mode of the vehicle at a time that the test is performed.

Method, a vehicle mountable controller and a device for operating a vehicle mountable controller in a computer network

The present invention relates to a method of reducing a peak-to-average power ratio of a signal to be transmitted. The method comprises the steps of detecting a portion of the signal being above a clipping threshold level, decomposing the portion of the signal into a number of functions, the number of functions being proportional to a duration of the portion of the signal, performing the number of soft-clippings on the signal by means of a reference function, the positions of the soft-clippings being given by the positions of the functions and the respective scalings of the reference function being determined by the amplitudes of the functions.
