Method and apparatus for information transmission between a plurality of stations connected in a loop and use of the method for the transmission of digitized voice signals and/or data.

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a unit for transmitting information between transmitter-receiver stations (51, 52, 53, 54, 55) connected in series in a loop. The method consists, for each station, in transmitting information in the form of micropackets which contain, apart from data, the transmitter station's own address and the destination address of the receiver station of these data; at each instant the number of micropackets or the loop is at most equal to the number of stations connected by this loop; each station whose own address corresponds to the destination address of a micropacket absorbs this micropacket without repeating it in the loop, a micropacket is repeated in the loop when the destination address of the micropacket does not correspond to the relevant station's own address. Application to the transmission of digitised voice signals and/or of data arising from information processing.
