Abstract
A communication protocol is disclosed where unsuccessful transmissions between stations are reduced. Each station includes a first queue for receiving newly generated messages and a second queue for receiving recycled messages which were not successfully transmitted. A detector in a reception sub-assembly of each station detects that the number of unsuccessful transmissions or collisions exceeds a predetermined threshold. Until the collisions are solved, a recycling circuit recycles the collided messages by providing them to the second queue and increasing their transmission priority over any newly generated messages contained in the first queue.
