Method for generating a medical network
First Claim
1. A method for setting up a medical network for carrying out at least one medical function with the medical network including at least two network nodes set up for communicating with one another, comprising:
- at least one initialization step, wherein at least two network nodes exchange at least one item of initialization information in the initialization step, wherein the initialization information includes at least one item of information characterizing the network nodes;
at least one self-organization step, wherein the network nodes define a role distribution of the network nodes;
at least one work step, wherein the network carries out the at least one medical function in the work step, wherein at least two of the network nodes interact in accordance with the role distribution defined in the self-organization step,wherein in the self-organization step at least two of the network nodes define the role distribution of the medical network and the self-organization step is carried out in such a way that the role distribution comprises a determination of at least one network node as master node and a determination of at least one network node as slave node, andwherein the network node having the most time-critical function is defined as the master node.

Abstract
A method for setting up a medical network for carrying out at least one medical function is disclosed. The medical network comprises network nodes and the network nodes are set up for communicating with one another by an initialization step, wherein the network nodes exchange initialization information that includes information characterizing the network nodes and a self-organization step where the network nodes define their role distribution. A work step where the network carries out the medical function and the two network nodes interact in the role of distribution defined in the self-organization step.
