Zusammenfassung:The disclosure relates to a method for clustering transportation units in a distribution chain. The method makes use of 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.
