Abstract
In a method for operating an alarm system in a wireless network having at least one alarm gateway and at least one mobile system: a test message is generated by the alarm gateway; the test message is distributed in the network by the alarm gateway via broadcast flooding; the mobile system evaluates the incoming test messages; the mobile system generates a feedback message; the feedback message is sent through the network to the alarm gateway; and the alarm gateway receives the feedback message and evaluates it.
Claims22
A method for operating a mobile system as a subscriber in a wireless network having a plurality of subscribers, an operational environment of the mobile system being subdivided into different zones, comprising:
- detecting a current position of the mobile system within the zones;
- determining a connection quality of the mobile system in the network;
- and
- adapting a behavior of the mobile system based on the determined connection quality and the detected position within the zones;
- wherein the determination of the connection quality includes receiving and evaluating test messages that are receivable as a broadcast in the network;
- and
- wherein at least one of the test messages includes at least one unique identification, a counter that is unalterable during a forwarding operation, and an originator time stamp.
A method for operating a mobile system as a subscriber in a wireless network having a plurality of subscribers, an operational environment of the mobile system being subdivided into different zones, comprising:
- detecting a current position of the mobile system within the zones;
- determining a connection quality of the mobile system in the network;
- and
- adapting a behavior of the mobile system based on the determined connection quality and the detected position within the zones;
- wherein the determination of the connection quality includes transmitting a test message;
- wherein multiple conditions apply to the transmission of the test message;
- and
- wherein the transmitting of the test message includes forwarding a received test message, and wherein the multiple conditions include a validity period for a test message as a condition and the test message not being forwarded if the delay is greater than the validity period.
A method for operating a mobile system as a subscriber in a wireless network having a plurality of subscribers, an operational environment of the mobile system being subdivided into different zones, comprising:
- detecting a current position of the mobile system within the zones;
- determining a connection quality of the mobile system in the network;
- and
- adapting a behavior of the mobile system based on the determined connection quality and the detected position within the zones;
- wherein the determination of the connection quality includes transmitting a test message;
- wherein multiple conditions apply to the transmission of the test message;
- and
- wherein prior to the transmission, a test message is supplemented with information pertaining to the mobile system and a forwarding counter of the test message is incremented.
A method for operating a mobile system as a subscriber in a wireless network having a plurality of subscribers, an operational environment of the mobile system being subdivided into different zones, comprising:
- detecting a current position of the mobile system within the zones;
- determining a connection quality of the mobile system in the network;
- and
- adapting a behavior of the mobile system based on the determined connection quality and the detected position within the zones;
- wherein a good connection quality corresponds to a quantitative representation of at least one network parameter exceeding a predefined connection threshold value, and/or an insufficient connection quality corresponds to a quantitative representation of at least one network parameter undershooting a predefined connection threshold value;
- and
- wherein the adapting of the behavior includes the mobile system preventively not driving in safety-critical zones in response to the connection quality being insufficient.
A method for operating an alarm gateway as a subscriber in a wireless network having a plurality of subscribers, comprising
- repeatedly transmitting a test message to the network as a broadcast;
- wherein the test message includes at least one unique identification, a counter that is unalterable during a forwarding operation, and an originator time stamp.
