Claim One:
1. An apparatus comprising: a receiver configured to obtain global positioning system (GPS) data with information describing a location of the apparatus; at least one sensor configured to acquire sensor data indicative of position information of the apparatus, the acquired sensor data having a first dimensionality; one or more processors configured to process the acquired sensor data to reduce dimensionality of the acquired sensor data from the first dimensionality to a second dimensionality; and a transmitter configured to: transmit the GPS data over a communication network using a first transmission periodicity, transmit the processed sensor data over the communication network using a second transmission periodicity, adjust transmission of the processed sensor data by decreasing the second transmission periodicity, when a location of the apparatus is within a threshold vicinity from a defined region or a quality metric of the GPS data is below a predetermined threshold value, and adjust transmission of the processed sensor data by increasing the second transmission periodicity, when the location of the apparatus is outside the threshold vicinity from the defined region or the quality metric is above the predetermined threshold value.
