1. A method for controlling an elevator system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first controller of the elevator system, media data, wherein the first controller comprises one of a local controller provided in an elevator car, a local controller of a door panel, or a central controller adapted for controlling a drive of the elevator system;
encoding, by the first controller, the media data into one or more encoded media data packets
receiving, by the first controller, at least one of control data and sensor data;
encoding, by the first controller, the at least one of control data and sensor data into one or more encoded control or sensor data packets;
transmitting, by the first controller, the one or more encoded media data packets interleaved with the one or more encoded control data sensor packets via a real-time data communication network to a second controller of the elevator system, wherein the second controller comprises another of a local controller provided in an elevator car, a local controller of a door panel, or a central controller adapted for controlling a drive of the elevator system;
wherein the real-time data communication network is adapted for transmitting the one or more encoded media data packets interleaved with the one or more encoded control data sensor packets while ensuring that each data packet of the one or more encoded media data packets interleaved with the one or more encoded control data sensor packets is transmitted during a maximal transmission time.
