Communication device, method for operating a computer program element and Kommunkationseinrichtung

communicator • a state control unit which is set up such that it can operate the communication device in at least the following three Nutzdatenubertragungs states: • a first Nutzdatenubertragungs state of the data link layer, in which the communication device is associated with a payload data communication link with the first communication resources, • a second Nutzdatenubertragungs state of the data link layer, in which the communication device is associated with a payload data communication link with the first communication resources, • a third Nutzdatenubertragungs state of the data link layer, in which the communication device is associated with a payload data communication link with the second communication resources, wherein the second communications resources are less than the first communication resources, • with a state transition control unit which is set up such that it can perform at least the following state transitions: • a change of state from the first state to the second Nutzdatenubertragungs Nutzdatenubertragungs state when a first state transition criterion is fulfilled, • a change of state from the second state to the third Nutzdatenubertragungs-Nutzdatenubertragungs state when a second state transition criterion is fulfilled, • a state change from the third state to the first Nutzdatenubertragungs Nutzdatenubertragungs state when ...
