Abstract
A vehicle-to-x communication system, a vehicle including a vehicle-to-x communication system and a method for transmitting vehicle-to-x messages. Instead of having to diversify transmission as is customary when at least two antennae are used, signals are emitted in a suitably split manner via a first antenna or a second antenna.
Claims16
A vehicle-to-X communication system for a vehicle, having:
- a first antenna,
- second antenna, and
- a communication unit, which is connected to the first antenna and the second antenna in order to transmit signals via the antennas,
- wherein the communication unit is designed to transmit a signal, which is part of a vehicle-to-X communication, selectively via the first antenna or via the second antenna.
1 more element
A method for transmitting vehicle-to-X messages comprising:
- generating a signal which contains a respective vehicle-to-X message,
- determining whether the signal is to be transmitted via a first antenna or a second antenna, and
- selective transmission of the signal as a function thereof via the first antenna or the second antenna.
