A method and an apparatus are specified in order to allow larger amounts of data to be transmitted relatively quickly in a network. According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the transmitted data frames have a logic structure in accordance with CAN Specification ISO 11898-1, wherein the time bit length within a data frame can assume at least two different values, wherein, for a first predeterminable area within the data frame, the time bit length is greater than or equal to a predetermined minimum value of approximately one microsecond, and in at least one second predeterminable area within the data frame, the time bit length is at least half, and preferably less than half, with respect to the first area, wherein changes in the time bit length are achieved by use of at least two different scaling factors for setting the bus time unit relative to a shortest time unit or the oscillator clock during operation. |
