Abstract

A method and apparatus for sensor data transmission in a mobile device includes receiving sensor data and generating a sensor data packet therefrom. The method and apparatus further includes receiving navigation data relating to the movements of the mobile device from a navigation device and receiving network data including transmission areas for one or more transmission mediums from a network availability database. The method and apparatus includes assigning a priority term to the sensor data packet, which may be based on predetermined priority levels. The method and apparatus thereupon includes determining a transmission technique for transmitting the sensor data packet to a back end processing device based on the priority term, the network data and the navigation data.
