Abstract: A control unit for a vehicle, having an interface for the exchange of data with a sensor, an actuator, and/or a processing unit, including a data memory, in which a first list with multiple first reference numbers (port) is stored. At least one datum of a sensor or an actuator is allocated to a first reference number, and a second list with second reference numbers is stored in the data memory. At least one parameter of a data transmission is stored for each second reference number, a first reference number being allocated via a modifiable allocation to a second reference number, and the control unit being developed to receive and/or transmit the data of a first reference number in accordance with the parameter of the data transmission of the second reference number.

Abstract: Method for coordinating measurements and calibrations in a passive optical network, PON, in particular in a Gigabit PON, the method comprising: generating, in an optical line termination (3), OLT, a downstream frame (25), transmitting the downstream frame (25) from the OLT to a plurality of optical network terminations (6.1 to 6.n), ONTs, the downstream frame (25) comprising at least one allocation structure (10) for allocating to at least one targeted ONT (6.1 to 6.n) a time slot for transmitting upstream data, the allocation structure (10) indicating that the type of upstream data to be transmitted during the allocated time slot is measurement data (26) or calibration data.
