Abstract
Method for encoding messages which are to be transmitted, method for decoding messages, and receiver for receiving and evaluating messages, in particular traffic messages, wherein the messages include message contents, and wherein a message contains at least one reference to an additional supplementary message which is to be transmitted separately and contains supplementary message contents.
Claims2
A method, comprising:
- obtaining information about a plurality of traffic-related events from at least one source;
- selecting, as a main traffic-related event, a traffic-related event having a highest priority among the plurality of traffic-related events;
- encoding information about the main traffic-related event as a main traffic-related message;
- for each remaining traffic-related event in the plurality of traffic-related events, encoding the remaining traffic-related event as a supplementary traffic-related message when one of the following conditions exists:
- a local reference of the remaining traffic-related event is different from a local reference of the main traffic-related event;
- or
- a source of information about the remaining traffic-related event is different from a source of the information about the main traffic-related event;
- and
- transmitting each traffic-related message separately to a receiver device having a processing unit adapted to decode the traffic-related messages;
- wherein each traffic-related message includes traffic-related message contents, and the main traffic-related message includes a reference to each supplementary traffic-related message.
