Device for access by several sets to a single communication channel.

Abstract

Abstract In a single-channel system for communication between several sets, each includes a central unit 1 with memory 2, equipment 3, transmission-reception coupler 5, a first detector monitoring the state of the channel 4, and a second 7 able to sense collisions. When one such appears, a scrambling signal blocks all the sets and imposes a standby period on them which, on the one hand is a function of the priority of the message to be sent, and on the other is situated, for each priority command, in a random manner in a particular time zone. In the case of a new collision following the first, the delay period is doubled.
