    摘要: An apparatus, a method and a computer program for a mobile device. The apparatus has a transceiver module for communication in a first mobile communication system and in a second mobile communication system and a control module to determine whether a time period until an estimated next time for replenishing an energy supply of the mobile device lies above a time threshold value. The control module uses the first mobile communication system for a data transmission if the time period lies above the time threshold value and uses the second mobile communication system for the data transmission if a connection to the second mobile communication system is available at or before the next time for replenishing the energy reserve of the mobile device.

    摘要: A method for managing a first communication connection between a first communication partner and a second communication partner. The method entails receiving a first message by the first communication partner, wherein the first message contains a command to disconnect the first communication connection. The method further entails transmitting a second message by the first communication partner to the second communication partner via a different second communication connection between the first communication partner and the second communication partner, wherein the second message contains a request to confirm the validity of the command. The method also entails disconnecting the first communication connection by the first communication partner if the first communication partner receives a third message via the second communication connection, wherein the third message contains a confirmation of the validity of the command.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for influencing the selection of a frequency band for wireless communication with a mobile station. The apparatus includes a transmission circuit that sends a beacon signal at a first transmission power in the frequency band. The apparatus also includes a recognition circuit that recognizes a connection request from a mobile station in the frequency band. The apparatus also includes a control circuit that responds to the connection request by prompting a transmission of the beacon signal at a second transmission power, which is different than the first transmission power, if the mobile station is unknown to the apparatus. Also disclosed are corresponding methods and computer programs.
