Abstract:
A communications network comprises a plurality of participants. A first participant transmits a message repeating sequence of N≥2 successive messages to a second participant. An action which can be performed by the second participant is assigned to each message in the sequence. The first participant begins to transmit one of the N messages at N successive transmission times T_I (I=0, . . . , N−1). Each of the N messages contains a field defining a waiting time assigned to the respective message W _ I=T _( N −1)− T _ I+ΔW _ I  ( I =0, . . . , N −1), where ΔW_I is a non-negative tolerance time. The second participant selects one message from among the messages in the sequence which are successfully received by the second participant as a useful message, measures a time elapsed since reception of the useful message, and performs the action assigned to the useful message when the elapsed time has reached the assigned waiting time.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for operating a communications network, wherein the communications network comprises a plurality of participants including a first participant and a second participant,\n wherein the first participant transmits a message repeating sequence consisting of N successive messages to the second participant, where N\u22652, wherein a respective action which can be performed by the second participant is assigned to each message in the message repeating sequence, wherein the first participant respectively begins to transmit one of the N messages at N successive transmission times T_I (I=0, . . . , N\u22121), wherein each of the N messages contains a field which defines a waiting time assigned to the respective message\n W _ I=T _( N\u2212 1)\u2212 T _ I+\u0394W _ I  ( I= 0, . . . , N\u2212 1), \n where \u0394W_I is a non-negative tolerance time, and wherein the second participant selects one message from among the messages in the message repeating sequence which are successfully received by the second participant as a useful message and measures a time elapsed since the reception of the useful message and performs the action assigned to the useful message when the elapsed time has reached the waiting time assigned to the useful message.
