It is discussed how a time-dependent focused transport model, using a time series of shock obliquities at the termination shock based on Voyager 1 observations to model magnetic field-line random walk, can reproduce observational features of energetic ions at the termination shock and in the heliosheath which is beyond the scope of standard cosmic-ray transport models.
