A method for communicating between a transmitting unit and a receiving unit over a synchronous serial link. A messages formed by elementary messages is transmitted from the transmitting unit to the receiving unit, with each of the elementary messages including a useful information word. There is established a time gap composed of multiple elementary temporal units after each elementary message is transmitted by the transmitting unit, with the transmitting unit not transmitting during the time gap. During the time gap, an acknowledgement word is received from the receiving unit. The acknowledgement word includes at least one reception bit that is selectively positioned at one of the elementary temporal units of the time gap, and the transmitting unit determines the elementary message that is to be transmitted next based at least partially on at which elementary temporal unit of the time gap the received at least one reception bit is positioned.
