Abstract

Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses for a vehicle, a network component, and a mobile transceiver performing multi-client sampling. A network component comprises one or more interfaces configured to communicate with mobile transceivers. It further comprises a control module configured to control interfaces and receive information on a multi-client sampling request as well as information on capabilities and status of a plurality of mobile transceivers. The control module is further configured to determine a subset of the mobile transceivers based on the information on the multi-client sampling request and on the capabilities and status. The subset comprises at least one mobile transceiver as cluster head and at least one other mobile transceiver. The control module is further configured to provide to the subset of mobile transceivers instructions to perform the multi-client sampling by collecting requested data at the cluster head using direct communication within the subset.
