Abstract: In an example embodiment a data transmission device for transmitting data packets comprises at least one receive interface configured to receive data packets from a respective data source; a respective receive buffer configured to buffer the data packets received via the respective receive interface; a transfer device configured to transfer the data packets from the respective receive buffer to a transmit buffer, the transmit buffer selected for the respective data packet from a plurality of existing transmit buffers; and a respective transmit interface configured to transmit the data packets stored in the respective transmit buffer to a receiving device, wherein the transfer device is configured to transfer the respective data packet from the respective receive buffer into the selected transmit buffer only when an enable condition exists, the enable condition being based on a fill level of one of the transmit buffers other than the selected transmit buffer.

Abstract: A method includes moving one or more transmit facility or transmit facilities attached to a first component with regard to at least two receive facilities attached at a fixed position to the second component; and at least one of registering a respective error if an error condition exists for the respective receive facility or modifying an operation of an apparatus comprising the first and a second component if the error condition exists for the respective receive facility, the error condition for the respective receive facility depends on location information relating to at least one of the position of the first component with regard to the second component or orientation of the first component with regard to the second component, and/or at least one of a measure for a receive quality of the signals or data packets received from the transmit facility or from at least one of the transmit facilities.
