TRANSMISSION CONTROL METHOD BETWEEN A PLURALITY OF STATIONS

摘要

This invention relates to a communication protocol between stations, in which the communication upstream channel comprises successive frames consisting of K message slots (321(1)) to (321(K)) each of which includes a data part (DM), for the transmission of a message, and M minislots, for the transmission of slot reservation signals. According to the invention, in case of unsuccessful message transmission and collision between corresponding transmission requests, the reservation signals corresponding to the retransmission requests take place in anyone of the K x M minislots of each frame. Application: VSAT networks.
