Abstract
The invention relates to a position-adaptive communication method which is carried out by a communication control module of a movable vehicle (1) in order to establish and maintain a communication connection (4) between the vehicle (1) and an opposite station (3). The communication method is a packet-based communication method, and a transmission pause (13) is provided between data packets and/or within the data packets. Position data of the vehicle (1) relative to a global coordinate system is ascertained, and a movement data set is received from at least one opposite station by means of a receiving device. Position data is extracted from the received movement data, and the position of the opposite station in the global coordinate system is determined. A directional vector (8) from the vehicle (1) to the opposite station (6) is ascertained, and a signal propagation time is ascertained from the length of the directional vector (8). The transmission path (13) is then adaptively matched to the ascertained signal propagation time by a timer of the communication control module.
