Abstract
The invention relates to a position-adaptive communication method which is carried out by a communication control module of a movable vehicle () in order to establish and maintain a communication connection () between the vehicle () and an opposite station (). The communication method is a packet-based communication method, and a transmission pause () is provided between data packets and/or within the data packets. Position data of the vehicle () relative to a global coordinate system is ascertained, and a movement data set is received from at least one opposite station by means of a receiving device. Position data is extracted from the received movement data, and the position of the opposite station in the global coordinate system is determined. A directional vector () from the vehicle () to the opposite station () is ascertained, and a signal propagation time is ascertained from the length of the directional vector (). The transmission path () is then adaptively matched to the ascertained signal propagation time by a timer of the communication control module.
