1. A method comprises:
- determining, by a first computing device, to report location change information of the first computing device to a second computing device;
sending, by the first computing device, the location change information to the second computing device utilizing an initial communication approach, wherein the initial communication approach includes at least one of first latency, first data volume, and unconfirmed delivery;
subsequent to the sending the location change information, assigning, by the first computing device, a priority level of the location change information based on one or more environmental parameters; and
when the priority level of the location change information is greater than a priority threshold;
selecting, by the first computing device, a new communication approach for retransmission of at least a portion of the location change information, wherein the new communication approach includes at least one of second latency, second data volume, and confirmed delivery, wherein the first latency is less than the second latency, and the first data volume is less than the second data volume; and
resending, by the first computing device, the at least a portion of the location change information to the second computing device using the new communication approach, wherein a desired percentage of a plurality of location change information will have a priority level that is less than or equal to the priority threshold, wherein the plurality of location change information includes the location change information.

Abstract
A method includes determining to report location change information of a first computing device to a second computing device and sending the location change information to the second computing device utilizing an initial communication approach. The method further includes assigning a priority level of the location change information based on one or more environmental parameters. When the priority level of the location change information is greater than a priority threshold, the method further includes selecting a new communication approach and resending at least a portion of the location change information to the second computing device using the new communication approach.

9. A computer readable memory comprises:
-
a first memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing module causes the processing module to; determine to report location change information of a first computing device to a second computing device; a second memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module causes the processing module to; send the location change information to the second computing device utilizing an initial communication approach, wherein the initial communication approach includes at least one of first latency, first data volume, and unconfirmed delivery; a third memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module causes the processing module to; subsequent to the sending the location change information, assign a priority level of the location change information based on one or more environmental parameters; and a fourth memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module causes the processing module to; when the priority level of the location change information is greater than a priority threshold; select a new communication approach for retransmission of at least a portion of the location change information, wherein the new communication approach includes at least one of second latency, second data volume, and confirmed delivery, wherein the first latency is less than the second latency, and the first data volume is less than the second data volume; and resend the at least a portion of the location change information to the second computing device using the new communication approach, wherein a desired percentage of a plurality of location change information will have a priority level that is less than or equal to the priority threshold, wherein the plurality of location change information includes the location change information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
