Abstract:
1. A method for performing communication in a self-organized wireless network, in particular a vehicular network, wherein said network includes a plurality of network nodes each being equipped with a communication system, wherein said communication systems generate periodic messages that are transmitted via a dedicated wireless communication channel, wherein each of said communication systems employs specific transmission parameters—message interval and transmit power—for transmitting said periodic messages, comprising: defining a reliability threshold for a maximum admissible load of said communication channel, and that each network node, taking into consideration information on network nodes surrounding the network node, establishes a relation between said message interval and said transmit power—interval-power-relation—such that said reliability threshold is not exceeded, wherein each network node applies the network node's established interval-power-relation to adjust transmit power and/or message interval of the network node's outgoing periodic messages, and a communication system of the network node, when adjusting transmission parameters based on the network node's established interval-power-relation, gives higher priority to an adjustment of said message interval.
