    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for clustering transportation units in a distribution chain. The method makes use of in the situation where many transportation units, such as IoT devices, are loaded in a confined space in which the transportation units have different or limited connectivity capabilities depending on radio environment and possibly also on device hardware capabilities. The method comprising respective transportation unit; sharing its identity; receiving and storing the identity of at least one other transportation unit; transmitting its identity and the stored identity of the at least one other transportation unit to an external processing unit; and clustering, at the external processing unit, the transportation units based on the transmitted identities. The disclosure also relates to a transportation unit and to computer program products.

    Abstract: An electronic device (12) in a cluster (10) that has the potential to serve as a new cluster head (36) receives cluster head assistance data from a current cluster head (36) device. The cluster head assistance data includes at least one data item related to establishment of operative communication with the wireless communications network (28) over a network communications interface (26) of the electronic device. If the electronic device is assigned to be the new cluster head, it injects the at least one data item into a process related to operation of the network communications interface and establishment of the operative communication with the wireless communications network; establishes the operative communication with the wireless communications network; and carries out cluster head functions on behalf of the cluster.
