Abstract:
1. A method for data transmission with mobile network nodes, a mobile network node including at least two network interfaces with corresponding power consumption, the method comprising: storing an address assigned to a mobile network node in a central unit; deactivating a first network interface of the mobile network node; transmitting, when the central unit receives data intended for the mobile network node, a signaling message assigned to the received data to the mobile network node by a signaling module via a second network interface of the mobile network node; activating, based on the transmitted signaling message, the first network interface of the mobile network node; transmitting data intended for the mobile network node to the mobile network node via the first network interface; and monitoring, at a monitoring module of the mobile network node, data transmission via the first network interface and deactivating the first network interface based on the monitoring, wherein the data intended for the mobile network node is stored in the central unit after receipt by the central unit.
