Transmission of sensor data based on geographical navigation data

A method for sensor data transmission in a mobile device, the method comprising:

• receiving sensor data and generating a sensor data packet;
• receiving navigation data relating to movements of the mobile device from a navigation device;
• receiving network data including transmission areas for one or more transmission mediums from a network availability database;
• assigning a priority term to the sensor data packet;
• and
• determining a transmission technique for transmitting the sensor data packet based on the priority term, the network data and the navigation data.

A mobile device for providing sensor data transmissions, the mobile device comprising:

• a sensor operative to generate sensor data;
• a sensor data packet generating device operative to receive the sensor data and generate a sensor data packet;
• a navigation device generating navigation data relating to movements of the mobile device;
• a network availability database storing network data including transmission areas for one or more transmission mediums;
• and
• an evaluation device operative to assign a priority term and determine a transmission technique for transmitting the sensor data packet based on the priority term, the network data and the navigation data.
