Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for establishing a sensor network having multiple sensor nodes, sensor nodes being able to connect to one another to transmit sensor data to a central receiving node, and information, in particular time information, being in stored in every sensor node from other neighboring sensor nodes lying in the reception area of a sensor node, on the basis of which a sensor node determines when to connect to another sensor node, initial information in the sensor node (S2) being formed by information from a mobile installation device (MGW), which is transmitted into a new sensor node (S2) during the installation thereof, the information particularly being provided in the form of a table.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for communication of multiple sensor nodes in a sensor network having a receiving node, particularly a sensor node of the sensor network, a receiving node prompting other sensor nodes to transmit sensor data to the receiving node by transmitting at least one synchronization telegram, for which the receiving node switches to receive for a time period, in particular for a CAP phase, in order to receive telegrams from at least one other sensor node, the time period being subdivided into multiple time intervals, the probability that a sensor node transmits a telegram in a specific time interval being a function of at least one predefinable parameter.
