Abstract

A method and a device for knock control of an internal combustion engine, a knock signal of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine being measured by a knock sensor and, on the basis thereof, a knock intensity is generated. The knock intensity is compared to a reference level in order to classify a combustion as a knocking or non-knocking combustion. Moreover, an arrangement is provided, which takes the level of the knock intensity into account for the determination of the reference level.
