Abstract
A Local Area Network consists of a number of stations connected together by a transmission line, each station having a transmitter and a receiver. A transmitter generates a sequence of information signals having individual message portions separated from one another by flag signals, each message portion having a predetermined number of symbols. A receiver processes a message portion by analyzing the content of each section formed by dividing the message portion into the predetermined number of equal parts. The receiver includes stores and, a detector, a signal-divider and a unit which determines a representative value.
