METHOD FOR GENERATING A TIME TABLE FOR SENSORS
First Claim
1. A method for generating a time table (L) determining the data exchange times between at least one control unit and at least two wireless sensors in a vehicle which comprises said at least one control unit controlling the functioning of the vehicle;
- and said at least two wireless sensors detecting the properties of components of the vehicle and/or surrounding parameters, and suitable for carrying out data exchange with a control unit by establishing a wireless connection with at least one wireless port provided in the control unit;
the method comprises the steps of calculating data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations between each sensor and the control unit;
generating a time table (L) having an adjustable table length (T) according to the calculated and/or predetermined data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations;
splitting the time table (L) into subunits (R) according to the calculated and/or predetermined data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations; and
entering the times at which each sensor is to perform data exchange with the control unit into the table according to a predefined order of priority, which is calculated based on the data exchange period and/or the data exchange duration of each sensor.

Abstract
A method for generating a time table (L) determines the data exchange times between a control unit and wireless sensors in a vehicle, which includes said control unit. The wireless sensors detect properties of components of the vehicle and/or surrounding parameters, and carrying out data exchange with the control unit by establishing a wireless connection with at least one wireless port provided in the control unit. The method can include calculating the data exchange periods and/or the data exchange durations between each sensor and the control unit; generating a time table (L) having an adjustable table length (T) according to the data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations; splitting the time table (L) into subunits (R) according to the data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations; and entering the times at which each sensor performs data exchange with the control unit into the table according to a predefined priority order.
