Abstract
In a method of data transmission from a plurality of sub-stations to a main station over a common channel which is subdivided into time slots whose length and synchronization are determined by a corresponding time slot distribution of a data transmission signal sent out by the main station, in which each sub-station in each time slot has a predetermined probability p of transmitting a data packet, the throughput of the communication channel is improved in that the probability p is adapted to the load of the communication channel.
