Method for transmitting data packets

A method for wirelessly transmitting a data packet within a measuring system, the method comprising:

• providing the measuring system including at least two field devices and a superordinate unit, wherein each of the at least two field devices and the superordinate unit includes a wireless interface;
• distributing the data packet to the at least two field devices;
• determining relative positions of the at least two field devices and of the superordinate unit with respect to one another;
• synchronizing the wireless interfaces of the at least two field devices on the basis of the determined relative positions such that the wireless interfaces of the at least two field devices transmit with a defined phase shift relative to one another in each particular case such that the at least two field devices emit the data packet with a common main radiation pattern that is directed toward the superordinate unit;
• transmitting the data packet to the superordinate unit via the wireless interfaces of the at least two field devices in synchronized fashion;
• and
• receiving the data packet by the superordinate unit.
