COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A communication network, comprising several nodes equipped with transmitter/receiver units for wireless communication, said nodes including mobile nodes installable on a mobile machines;
- a memory for storing operating parameter profiles of several of the mobile machines, assigned to each of said nodes;
wherein every node is assigned to transmit profiles stored on its assigned memory via its transmitter/receiver unit, and to update a profile of a particular mobile machine stored in its assigned memory based on profile of this mobile machine that was received from another node.

Abstract
A communication network contains several nodes, which are equipped with transmitter/receiver units for wireless communication, including nodes referred to as mobile nodes that are installed on mobile machines. So that decentralized decisions can be made regarding the use of the mobile machines at the sites where the machines are located, a memory for storing the operating parameter profiles of several of the mobile machines is assigned to each node; every node is designed to transmit profiles stored in its assigned memory via its transmitter/receiver unit, and to update the profile of a particular mobile machine stored in its assigned memory based on a profile of this mobile machine that is received from another node.
