Patent number: 11362858Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data via a communications channel (106), in which the data is transmitted with a transmission frame, wherein the transmission frame has at least one prioritisation field (PCP) for establishing the priority of the message and a data field, wherein the prioritisation field (PCP) functions to control the bus access by prioritising the messages. For this purpose, a bus access controller is used, in which the priority of at least the last received data packet is stored in a minimum priority storage cell (330). After receiving a data packet, a timer (320) is started, for which a timeout value is set, which is reset when a following packet is received. After reaching the timeout value, a decrementing of the value stored in the minimum priority storage cell (330) occurs.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Olaf Krieger, Alexander Meier
