Abstract
A communication network includes a plurality of stations interconnected by a coaxial cable. Communication among stations is effected in packet form, the packets being located in blocks repeated periodically in time. At least one station may be provided with composing circuits effecting interconnection among several stations by linking transmitters and receivers of different stations. Alternatively, a separate central station acts to link an originating station with requested other stations in a manner such that channel connection among the linked stations is effected by a single packet.
