Dispatch-aiding communications between computing devices of a responder and a dispatch unit include a computing device of the responder determining that an event occurred, automatically sending an indication of the event to a computing device of the dispatch unit, receiving a request for information from the computing device of the dispatch unit, obtaining the information requested by the computing device of the dispatch unit, and sending the information requested by the computing device of the dispatch unit to the computing device of the dispatch unit. The computing device of the dispatch unit sends the request for information to the computing device of the responder in response to receiving the indication of the event.

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for providing first control information using a first control channel and at least second control information using a second control channel, wherein the first control information comprises at least an indication of resource reservation for an associated data channel and the second control information comprises at least transmission format information for the associated data channel, wherein the associated data channel comprises periodic or aperiodic data traffic.

A communication system includes a motor vehicle, a portable communication adapter separate from the motor vehicle and able to be coupled reversibly to a control device of the motor vehicle via a communication interface, and a vehicle-external coordination device. The communication adapter receives motor vehicle data describing a traffic behavior and/or a traffic environment of the motor vehicle from the control device. The communication adapter includes a transmission/reception unit and transmits the motor vehicle data to the vehicle-external coordination device via the transmission/reception unit and receives warning data generated by the vehicle-external coordination device which describes a traffic behavior and/or a traffic environment of another motor vehicle. The communication adapter initiates a traffic-coordinating measure based on the warning data.

A system for automatic generation of a work site equipment grouping is provided. The system includes a plurality of work machines, each work machine configured to wirelessly communicate with other work machines. The system also includes a local area network including a plurality of communicatively connected nodes. The nodes include the work machines. The work machines are configured to create and join the local area network when the work machines are within a signal range of one or more of the plurality of nodes.

A mobile radiographic imaging apparatus that performs dynamic imaging by using radiation, includes a detector, a wireless communication interface, and a hardware processor. The detector detects a first wireless access point and a second wireless access point. The wireless communication interface connects to the first wireless access point as a connection point and outputs a dynamic image including a plurality of frames acquired in the dynamic imaging to the first wireless access point. The hardware processor controls a change of the connection point from the first wireless access point to the second wireless access point. The hardware processor further performs control to inhibit the change of the connection point in a period when the frame images are still being output to the first wireless access point.

A network controller for use with a person, a first and second network device, an external network, and a client device, first and second network device being configured to transmit first and second wireless signals respectively, network controller comprising: a memory, having stored therein, a data structure associating the person with a first location and time of day and associating the person with a second location and time of day; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on memory to cause network controller to: monitor first and second wireless signals; determine a change in one of first and second wireless signals; tag first network device to first location based on the determined change in first wireless signals at first time of day; and tag second network device to second location based on the determined change in second wireless signals at second time of day.
