Abstract

A method for generating a time table determines the data exchange times between a control unit and wireless sensors in a vehicle, which includes said control unit. The wireless sensors detect properties of components of the vehicle and/or surrounding parameters, and carrying out data exchange with the control unit by establishing a wireless connection with at least one wireless port provided in the control unit. The method can include calculating the data exchange periods and/or the data exchange durations between each sensor and the control unit; generating a time table having an adjustable table length according to the data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations; splitting the time table into subunits according to the data exchange periods and/or data exchange durations; and entering the times at which each sensor performs data exchange with the control unit into the table according to a predefined priority order.
