Claim Text:
1. A method for monitoring an adaptive network having respective network nodes and network connections between the network nodes, each network node having a transceiver coupled to a respective network connection, the transceiver being configured to provide a mean error value representative of deviations of a received signal from the defined reference signal values, the method comprising the acts of: in a reference operating state of the adaptive network, determining a respective reference error value as a function of the mean error value provided by a respective transceiver; in at least one predefined operating state of the adaptive network, determining a respective actual error value as a function of the mean error value provided by the respective transceiver; and determining whether a fault is present in the respective network connection coupled to the respective transceiver as a function of the respective reference error value and the assigned actual error value.
