METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AD-HOC NETWORK FOR THE WIRELESS DATA TRANSMISSION OF SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS MESSAGES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating an ad-hoc network for the wireless data transmission of synchronous and asynchronous messages. According to the invention, the transmitters and receivers of neighbouring nodes on a transmission path are synchronised using cyclically transmitted identifiers, whose intervals define a time frame. The nodes of the transmission path reserve time slots within the time frame for the transmission of data packets of a virtual connection that are to transmitted synchronously. Free time slots in the nodes are filled with data packets that can be transmitted asynchronously.
