<p>In multiple access bit-serial baseband data communication systems, transceiver stations "listen" for collisions while their transmitters are actively signalling on a common bus. Any station detecting collision it aborts its transmission and reschedules the same. In order to avoid erroneous collision detection the presently disclosed stations are made sensitive to collisions only while transmitting a particular binary level and insensitive at other times. When transmitting at the particular level, the station's driver is conditioned to present high impedance to the bus, so as not to interfere with reception of signals sent by other stations. Transitions to this high impedance state are delayed by a short increment of time, relative to corresponding transitions in the bit signals at the driver input, for allowing active/quick removal of charges accumulated at the local bus connection site during the previous bit transfer period. If all but one detect collision, those detecting collision will defer and the station not detecting collision will continue its transmission.</p> |
