Method of access to a local area network with a unidirectional transmission line, and network using such method.

摘要

The access method to the local area network allows transmission, on a unidirectional ring (1), or circuit-switched or packet-switched communications organized in hybrid frames, in which overlapping between the beginning of a frame and a residual of the preceding frame which is still to reach its destination is avoided without resorting to a rigid band allotment to the individual communications and to a network synchronization system, where a well defined node acts as a master clock. Also a local network using such access method is provided.
