Patent ID: 11374868

Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention relates to a communication node (10, 11) for a communication system (5). The embodiment is characterized by: a communication module (30), and at least one application module (21, 22), wherein the communication module is configured to transfer data signals (D2) received from another communication node of the communication system, or the contents of these data signals, to the application module, and to send data signals (D1) based on data received from the application module to said other communication node or to at least one other communication node of the communication system, wherein the communication module is configured to evaluate the received data signals and to generate a quality value (Q1(T1), Q2(T2)) that describes the current and/or future quality of the data connection with respect to a previously defined maximum latency (T1, T2) that is assigned to the application module, and wherein the communication module is further configured to send a control signal (QS) to the application module if the quality value is below a given quality threshold (Q1min, Q2min) regarding the respective maximum latency that is assigned to the application module.
