Abstract
A communication device for wireless communication in a mobile radio network is included in a controller installed in a motor vehicle. The controller also includes a connection device which connects to at least one bus system of the motor vehicle and a computer device for controlling the exchange of data between the at least one bus system and the mobile radio network and/or an external network. The communication device has, in addition to a connection to a controller-external mobile radio antenna, an additional mobile radio antenna which is integrated into the controller and is to be used in the event of failure of the controller-external mobile radio antenna. The communication device outputs an emergency call signal to the mobile radio network when an emergency trigger signal is received via the bus system and/or some other communication connection.

13. A networking controller in a motor vehicle having bus systems provided for communications between different vehicle systems, a controller-external mobile radio antenna, and at least one communication connection, the networking controller comprising:
-
a controller-internal mobile radio antenna integrated into the networking controller; a communication device including an interface configured to connect to the controller-external mobile radio antenna, the communication device being configured to perform wireless communication in a mobile radio network, to output an emergency call signal to the mobile radio network when an emergency trigger signal is received via at least one of the bus systems and/or the at least one communication connection, and to use the controller-internal mobile radio antenna when the controller-external mobile radio antenna fails; a connection device connected to the bus systems of the motor vehicle; and a computer device connected to the connection device and configured to control an exchange of data between the bus systems and between the bus systems and at least one of the mobile radio network and an external network including the Internet, which can be reached via the mobile radio network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

27. A method for emergency communication in a motor vehicle having a controller-external mobile radio antenna, bus systems provided for communications between vehicle systems, and a networking controller which includes a communication device connected via an interface to the controller-external mobile radio antenna, a connection device connected to the bus systems, and a computer device, the method comprising:
-
controlling, by the computer device, exchange of data between the bus systems and between the bus systems and at least one of a mobile radio network and an external network including the Internet, reachable via the mobile radio network; determining, when an emergency trigger signal is received by the communication device via at least one of the bus systems and another communication connection, whether the communication device is able to communicate via the controller-external mobile radio antenna; and when communication via the controller-external mobile radio antenna is unavailable, transmitting an emergency call signal via the mobile radio network from a controller-internal mobile radio antenna integrated into the networking controller to an emergency call number. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
