  • Data transmitter and data receiver with low latency for the telegram splitting transfer method
    Patent number: 11909519
    Abstract: Embodiments provide transfer methods. The method includes a step of transferring data of a first class from a data transmitter to a data receiver, wherein the data of the first class is transferred divided onto a first plurality of sub-data packets using a first hopping pattern. Furthermore, the method includes a step of transferring data of a second class from the data transmitter or a different data transmitter to the data receiver, wherein the data of the second class is transferred divided onto a second plurality of sub-data packets using a second hopping pattern, wherein transmission pauses between sub-data packets transferred according to the first hopping pattern are smaller than transmission pauses between sub-data packets transferred according to the second hopping pattern.

  • Efficient and dynamic addressing methods to a plurality of receivers
    Patent number: 11683677
    Abstract: A transmitter is configured to communicate with a multiplicity of receivers, and is configured to transmit first data, the first data including a non-unique addressing information addressing a subset of the multiplicity of receivers, the subset including at least two receivers, the transmitter further being configured to transmit second data, the second data including a further addressing information or transmitted according to a further addressing information, the addressing information addressing one receiver (or one group of receivers) of the subset of the multiplicity of receivers.

  • System combination of an asynchronous and a synchronous radio system
    Publication number: 20220022205
    Abstract: What is describes is a participant of a communication system, the participant being configured to transmit data using a first radio network and a second radio network in a frequency band, the participant being configured to transmit data in the first radio network according to a first time and/or frequency hopping pattern in a first frequency range of the frequency band, the participant being configured to transmit data in the second radio network according to a second time and/or frequency hopping pattern in a second frequency range of the frequency band, wherein the first time and/or frequency hopping pattern and the second time and/or frequency hopping pattern are different, wherein the first frequency range and the second frequency range overlap at least partially.
