Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for serially transmitting frames from a transmitter to at least one receiver via a bus line and to a participant station for a bus system. In the method, stuff bits are integrated into the frame by the transmitter dependent on the values of multiple previous bits in order to generate additional signals edges. The transmitter of the frame counts the stuff bits which are integrated depending on the value of multiple previous bits, and information on the number of counted stuff bits is transmitted in the transmitted frames.

Abstract: In a method for serial communication of data frames between nodes connected by a bus system, the transmitter and receiver roles are assigned to the nodes for each data frame by the arbitration procedure defined in the CAN-Standard ISO 11898-1. The exchanged data frames, which include multiple bits, have a logical structure according to the CAN-Standard ISO 11898-1, including a Start-Of-Frame-Bit, an Arbitration Field, a Control Field, a Data Field, a CRC Field, an Acknowledge Field and an End-Of-Frame Field. Each bit has a bit time which is divided into Time Segments. In response to a predefined value of a specific bit within the Control Field a first node of a first node group restarts its protocol decoding state machine and waits until it has synchronized itself to the bus activity and a second node of a second node group communicates using CAN FD Specification protocol.
