A method for operating a multi-station network for therein effecting node-to-node communications over a serial bus in a collision-free fashion, while having before starting such communication an communication originator station execute a gap_count procedure for therein measuring an idle interval, said method being characterized by the steps of: measuring various path delay values between a first node and a second node; selecting a worst case among said path delay values; assigning a gap_count to said worst case delay value. |
