Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The reliable and controlled allocation of network elements particularly medical sensors ( 2 ) to a network ( 4 ) without prior configuration of the wireless sensors or of the network administration system can be carried out using an allocation unit ( 1 ) for allocating network elements ( 2 ) to a wireless network ( 4 ), which allocation unit ( 1 ) comprises a transmitter which transmits, in a user-controlled manner, a code to a first network element ( 2 ), which code causes the first network element ( 2 ) to transmit its ID together with the code (encoded ID) so that the latter can be received by a second network element ( 3 ) which allocates the first network element ( 2 ) to its network ( 4 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of allocating network elements to a wireless network, wherein with a transmitter of an allocation unit, transmitting in a user-controlled manner, a first code to a first network element, which first code causes the first network element to transmit an encoded identification (ID) comprising its ID and the received first code, so that the encoded ID is received by a second network element having network administration function, which allocates…
