Method for communicating information, receiver device, sensor device, and system

A method for a vehicle to communicate information between a sensor device of a system and a receiver device of the system, wherein the system has at least two sensor devices, wherein the two sensor devices each have a sensor test value generator with at least one variable value and with a calculation rule for calculating a sensor test value from respective sensor measurement information to be communicated, wherein the variable values of the sensor test value generators and/or the calculation rules of the sensor test value generators of the two sensor devices are different, and wherein the receiver device has a receiver test value generator with at least the two variable values of the sensor test value generators and/or with at least the two calculation rules of the sensor test value generators of the two sensor devices, the method comprising:

• calculating by the sensor test value generator, the sensor test value as a function of the variable value and/or as a function of the calculation rule from at least the sensor measurement information to be communicated;
• generating a data packet, wherein the data packet has at least a data section with the sensor measurement information to be communicated and a test section with the calculated sensor test value;
• sending the data packet through a transmission channel to the receiver device;
• receiving, by the receiver device, the data packet from the sensor device;
• selecting, by the receiver device, the variable value of the sensor test value generator as a function of the sensor device and/or selection by the receiver device of the calculation rule of the sensor test value generator as a function of the sensor device;
• calculating, by the receiver test value generator, a receiver test value with the selected variable value and/or with the selected calculation rule from at least the received sensor measurement information to be communicated of the data section of the data packet;
• and
• checking the received sensor measurement information of the data section of the data packet for a transmission error based on the received sensor test value and the calculated receiver test value.
