METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSMITTING DATA WITHIN AN OPEN COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for transmitting data within an open communication network (8; 23). The data is transmitted by means of a line-bound transmission medium (12; 22), e.g. a power supply network. The transmitting times of at least one transmitter/receiver device (10.1; 25.1) of the open communication network (8; 23) and a transmitter/receiver device (10.2; 25.5) outside the open communication network are synchronised by means of a time signal which is independent from the open communication network (8; 23). By virtue of the fact that the transmission times of the transmitter/receiver device overlap as little as possible with the receiving times of the other transmitter/receiver device, interferences between the transmitter/receiver devices of a different open communication network are minimised, reduction of the waveband is zero or very little and a synchronisation process between transmitter/receiver devices of different open communication networks is prevented.
