A method for operating a receiving unit of a communication network to recognize an erroneous transfer of useful data. The method includes: temporally consecutively receiving a multitude of data packets sent using the sending unit, each of the data packets encompassing useful data including an adapted value of a variable; the adapted values having been ascertained using the sending unit of the communication network, based on a received value of the variable and an adaptation value ascertained using an adaptation rule; and the adaptation values for values of the variable which are temporally consecutively received using the sending unit being different; and recognizing an erroneous transfer of the adapted values of the variable encompassed by the useful data using the receiving unit when the values of the variable, encompassed by a predefined number of temporally consecutively received data packets, differ by less than a predefinable or predefined threshold value.

Method for operating units of a communication network

A method for improving the estimation of an existence probability of objects. The objects are detected using sensors installed in a vehicle and/or an infrastructure component. Each tracker of a sensor and/or a sensor group estimates a status of an object and its existence probability using a detection probability model. The detected objects are merged in a fusion list, and each object is assigned a state and an existence probability. Each object of the fusion list is assigned existence probabilities. Each object of the fusion list is assigned additional information indicating which sensor and/or which sensor group has/have detected the respective object in the last measuring cycle. At least sensor-specific and/or sensor-group-specific existence probabilities of fused existence probabilities and the sensor detection probability are compared in a crosscheck, and false negative cases and false positive cases are ascertained for each sensor and/or sensor groups.
