Method For Operating A Communication System In Wireless Vehicle-To-Environment Communication, And Communication System

A method for operating a communication system (9) in wireless vehicle-to-environment communication, comprising:

• transmitting, using the communication system (9), different information as signals on various radio channels (CCH, SCH) in accordance with its content, the communication system (9) having at least two reception paths (P1, P2) each having at least one separate antenna and an associated separate receiver for receiving the transmitted signals;
• and
• changing over the communication system (9) between two modes of operation when a changeover criterion (U1, U2) is satisfied, such that the at least two reception paths (P1, P2) receive signals on a different radio channel (CCH, SCH) in a first mode of operation and receive signals on the same radio channel (CCH or SCH) in a second mode of operation.
