The procedure and the apparatus for transmission employ a bus (8) which interconnects a plurality of appliances (4, 5A to 5E) having to communicate with one another via cells obtained by grouping bytes relating to transmission channels, which are either isochronous or asynchronous, and which comprises "p" time-division multiplex links (81 to 8p) to which each appliance is connected. …<??>The transmissions of cells take place in serial form, at the rate of one cell per link, following a phase of contention between appliances simultaneously desiring to transmit, and in the course of which these appliances simultaneously focus on the same one of the "p" links in order to transmit therein conjointly and bit by bit a message for resolving contention based on their respective individual priorities. …<IMAGE>… |
