Abstract
A method is provided for assigning a time stamp to a specific data packet which, as with a group of received data packets, is received by a cyclically operating sensor. The specific data packet is especially part of the group of received data packets. The disclosed method includes: determining the time of arrival of each data packet of the group of received data packets; assigning a time stamp to each data packet of the group of data packets; determining the time difference between the determined time of arrival and the assigned time stamp for each data packet of the group of data packets; determining the smallest time difference from among the determined time differences; and assigning a time stamp to the specific data packet on the basis of the time of arrival determined for the data packet for which the smallest time difference has been determined.
