Claim Text:
1. A method for compensating for a time discrepancy, in which a first and a second vehicle-to-X communication system resort to an external time base, wherein the first vehicle-to-X communication system determines a first internal time base from the external time base and the second vehicle-to-X communication system determines a second internal time base from the external time base, wherein the first vehicle-to-X communication system sends vehicle-to-X data and the second vehicle-to-X communication system receives vehicle-to-X data, wherein vehicle-to-X data to be sent are denoted using a first time stamp created from the first internal time base, and wherein captured ambient sensor data are denoted using a first time stamp created from the second internal time base, wherein temporal consistency checking between the captured ambient sensor data and the received vehicle-to-X data is used to determine the time discrepancy between the first internal time base and the second internal time base and to compensate for said time discrepancy using a correction value.
