Method for operating a supply system

A method for operating a supply system having a measuring unit and a central unit, which comprises steps of:

• transferring information about an operation of the supply system via a Short Range Device (SRD) or Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band communication network by radio between the central unit and the measuring unit;
• transmitting the information repeatedly at specific time intervals by the central unit and/or the measuring unit;
• receiving the information by the measuring unit or the central unit and then generating a receipt confirmation, and transmitting the receipt confirmation to the central unit or the measuring unit:
• opening in the central unit or the measuring unit a receive window of a certain time length for receiving the receipt confirmation after transmitting the information;
• increasing a transfer reliability by shortening the specific time intervals between repeat transmissions of the information as of a first trigger event occurring, and/or opening an additional receive window for receiving the receipt confirmation;
• decreasing the transfer reliability by lengthening the specific time intervals between the repeat transmissions as of a second trigger event occurring, and/or no additional receive windows are opened;
• and
• increasing the transfer reliability by increasing a transmit power for transmitting the information as of the first trigger event occurring, and decreasing the transfer reliability by decreasing again the transmit power as of the second trigger event occurring, the second trigger event occurring being defined as the central unit receiving the receipt confirmation from the measuring unit, and/or as a tripping of a timer and/or as a successful connection to an external transmission system.
