Abstract
A signal retransmission control circuit for stations of a multi-station digital communications network interconnected in a time division manner through a communication cable. The retransmission control circuit detects signal collisions when two or more stations simultaneously transmit their signals and in response to this detection of signal collision initiates a signal retransmission waiting time, during which the signal cannot be transmitted. The control circuit further includes a waiting time adjustment means for increasing the waiting time if another station begins signal transmission during a waiting time period.
