The invention relates to a method for improving the
transmission quality between a
data collector (3) and a plurality of measuring units, in particular consumption measuring devices (2), in a communication
system (1) with preferably bidirectional
radio transmission with a first communication module (10), wherein the first communication module (10) is associated with the
data collector (3), and twoor more second communication modules (17), wherein each second communication module (17) is associated with one measuring unit, wherein the second communication module (17) is provided for sending data to the first communication module (10) by means of radio signals, preferably in the form of at least one radio telegram (4) preferably comprising a plurality of data packet(s), wherein the first communication module (10) is provided for receiving the data from the second communication module (17), wherein the first communication module (10) comprises a first frequency
reference device (11), wherein the second communication module (17) comprises a second frequency
reference device (18), wherein the radio signals transferred from the second communication module (17) to the first communicationmodule (10) in the
data transmission are dependent on the second frequency
reference device (18), wherein at least one parameter of the
radio signal sent out by the second communication module (17) and received by the first communication module (10), from the parameter group comprising bandwidth,
data rate,
data rate offset, temperature from the data packet,
delta frequency,
modulation index, and / or reception time by the first communication module (10), is measured, an error of the second frequency reference device (18) is estimated on the basis of the parameter measurement values or values derived therefrom, and the frequency of the first frequency reference device (11) and / or at least one parameter in the first communication module (10) from the group comprising
data rate, data rate offset,
modulation index and
frequency shift is adjusted in such a way that the error of the second frequency reference device (18) or the
parameter error dependent thereon is reduced or eliminated.
