Abstract
A method and a device for operating a communication system for optimizing parameters of a configuration of the communication system.
Claims14
A method for operating a communication system including at least two communication subscribers, wherein the at least two communication subscribers periodically exchange data with one another in transmission cycles, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a first set of parameter sets including at least one parameter set to be checked, and providing a second set of parameter sets including at least one safe parameter set;
- ascertaining a number of remaining non-critical transmission cycles;
- selecting parameter sets to be checked from the first set of parameter sets for application in a respective non-critical transmission cycle, and selecting a safe parameter set from the second set of parameter sets for application in a critical transmission cycle;
- and
- applying a configuration according to a selected parameter set of the first set of parameter sets and the second set of parameter sets in a respective transmission cycle,
- wherein a parameter set to be checked is:
- (i) an old parameter set that was applied a particular number of transmission cycles and/or a particular time duration ago, or (ii) a new parameter set that has not yet been applied.
A method for operating a communication system including at least two communication subscribers, wherein the at least two communication subscribers periodically exchange data with one another in transmission cycles, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a first set of parameter sets including at least one parameter set to be checked, and providing a second set of parameter sets including at least one safe parameter set;
- ascertaining a number of remaining non-critical transmission cycles;
- selecting parameter sets to be checked from the first set of parameter sets for application in a respective non-critical transmission cycle, and selecting a safe parameter set from the second set of parameter sets for application in a critical transmission cycle;
- and
- applying a configuration according to a selected parameter set of the first set of parameter sets and the second set of parameter sets in a respective transmission cycle,
- wherein the ascertaining of the number of remaining non-critical transmission cycles takes into account a survival time of a data exchange between the at least two communication subscribers.
A device configured to operate a communication system including at least two communication subscribers, wherein the at least two communication subscribers periodically exchange data with one another in transmission cycles, wherein the device is configured to:
- provide a first set of parameter sets including at least one parameter set to be checked, and provide a second set of parameter sets including at least one safe parameter set;
- ascertain a number of remaining non-critical transmission cycles;
- select parameter sets to be checked from the first set of parameter sets for application in a respective non-critical transmission cycle, and select a safe parameter set from the second set of parameter sets for application in a critical transmission cycle;
- and
- apply a configuration according to a selected parameter set of the first set of parameter sets and the second set of parameter sets in a respective transmission cycle,
- wherein a parameter set to be checked is:
- (i) an old parameter set that was applied a particular number of transmission cycles and/or a particular time duration ago, or (ii) a new parameter set that has not yet been applied.
