The invention provides a subscriber
station (10; 20; 30; 1 - 4) for a serial
bus system (100) and to a method for communicating in a serial
bus system (100). The subscriber
station (10; 20; 30; 1 - 4) comprises a
communication control device (11; 21; 31) for controlling communication of the subscriber
station (10; 20; 30; 1 - 4) with at least one other subscriber station (10; 20; 30; 1 - 4) of the
bus system (100), a transmission / capturing device (12; 22; 32) for transmitting a transmission
signal (TX1; TX2; TX3; TX4), generated by the
communication control device (11; 21; 31), in a frame (450; 460) to a bus (40) of the bus system (100), and a scheduling unit (15; 25; 35) for planning temporal access of the subscriber station (10; 20; 30; 1 - 4) to the bus (40) in at least one time slot (S1 - S4) of a round (C) of temporal subsequent time slots (S1 - S4). At least one time slot (S1 - S4) is provided in a round (C) for each subscriber station (10; 20; 30; 1- 4) of the buses (40) for transmitting their transmission
signal (TX1; TX2; TX3; TX4) and the round (C) repeats in cycles. The scheduling unit (15; 25; 35) is designed to determine an allocation, using at least information captured by the bus (40), which time slot (S1 - S4) of the round (C) the transmission / capturing unit (12; 22; 32) may use to transmit the frame (450; 460) for the transmission
signal (TX1; TX2; TX3; TX4) to the bus (40).
