Method for transmitting digital data

摘要

A method for transmitting digital data over data lines between subscribers forming data sources and data sinks and being disposed in a network having a ring structure and connecting a plurality of subscribers to one another with network segments each being formed between two adjacent subscribers, includes transmitting the data in the network in a format specifying a clocked sequence of individual bit groups of equal length, each including at least one partial bit group forming a data channel to be assigned temporarily to two subscribers in the network for a data transmission. A temporary allocation of the data channels for a data transmission between two subscribers takes place segmentally in the network, for optimal utilization of the data transmission capacity of the network only those network segments that are located between the applicable data source and the associated data sink are occupied for the particular data transmission.
