Abstract
Methods and an appropriately setup communication unit for positioning in vehicle-to-surroundings communication are described, wherein the method involves a first sensor (S) of a first communication subscriber using a transmission and reception unit to emit a challenge pulse, to which a transmission and reception unit of a second sensor (S) of a second communication subscriber responds with a response pulse. The response pulse is received and evaluated by the first sensor (S) and positioning is performed. In order to achieve reliable cooperative sensor communication, the transmission and reception units of the first and second sensors (S, S) use a frequency band (SCH) which is reserved for vehicle-oriented safety applications.
