Abstract
A method for operating a terminal for a communication network, the terminal, based on a future route of the terminal, transmitting a reservation request for logging into a radio cell of the communication network along the route via the communication network to a radio cell management server, to be able to log into the requested radio cell as a function of a response of the radio cell management server. A method for operating a radio cell management server, a terminal, a radio cell management server, a vehicle, and a computer program, are also described.

A method for operating a terminal for a communication network, comprising:
- transmitting via the communication network by the terminal to a radio cell management server, based on a future route of the terminal, a reservation request for logging into a radio cell of the communication network along the route, to be able to log into the requested radio cell as a function of a response of the radio cell management server.
A method for operating a radio cell management server for radio cells of a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving from a terminal via the communication network by the radio cell management server, a reservation request for logging into a radio cell;
- checking, by the radio cell management server, logging into the radio cell is possible or not in accordance with the reservation request;
- and
- transmitting via the communication network to the terminal by the radio cell server a corresponding response via the communication network, the response indicating that logging into the requested radio cell is possible or is not possible.
A terminal for a communication network, comprising:
- a processor designed to ascertain, based on a future route of the mobile terminal, a reservation request for logging into a radio cell of the communication network along the route;
- and
- a communication interface designed to transmit the reservation request to a radio cell management server via the communication network, so that the terminal may log into the requested radio cell as a function of a response of the radio cell management server.
A radio cell management server for radio cells of a communication network, comprising:
- a communication interface designed to receive, via the communication network, a reservation request from a terminal for logging into a radio cell;
- and
- a processor designed to check whether logging into the radio cell is possible or not in accordance with the reservation request, the processor further being designed to ascertain a corresponding response as a function of the check, that logging into the requested radio cell is possible or is not possible;
- and
- wherein the communication interface is further designed to transmit the response to the terminal via the communication network.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a terminal for a communication network, the terminal including a processor designed to ascertain, based on a future route of the mobile terminal, a reservation request for logging into a radio cell of the communication network along the route, and a communication interface designed to transmit the reservation request to a radio cell management server via the communication network, so that the terminal may log into the requested radio cell as a function of a response of the radio cell management server.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored program code for operating a terminal for a communication network, the program code, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform:
- transmitting via the communication network by the terminal to a radio cell management server, based on a future route of the terminal, a reservation request for logging into a radio cell of the communication network along the route, to be able to log into the requested radio cell as a function of a response of the radio cell management server.
