Abstract
A method for filtering infrastructure description messages packed in data packages, the messages being transmitted in a vehicular ad hoc network, along with positional information messages for the localization of individual participating nodes, in order to describe the status of the vehicular ad hoc network and/or a street on which the participating nodes are located. The method includes the following steps: receiving one of the infrastructure description messages at a participating node; evaluating the received infrastructure description message as to whether a response is required; and filtering the evaluated infrastructure description message based on a predetermined criterion for whether a response is required.
