Abstract

A data receiver receives at least one signal from a data transmitter and determines therefrom at least one environment parameter of the data transmitter or of an environment of the data transmitter. The data receiver is configured to identify an operational state of the data transmitter or of a component of the data transmitter by comparing the at least one environment parameter so received or an environment parameter profile determined on the basis of the at least one environment parameter, with an environment parameter reference profile which describes an expected environment parameter or an expected environment parameter profile in the environment of the data transmitter.
