Claim Text:
1. A method for performing data transfer in a network having at least two data processing units that exchange messages via a bus of the network, the exchanged messages having a logical structure in accordance with a controller area network (CAN) standard ISO 11898-1, the method comprising: coding, by at least one of the data processing units, bits for at least one first region within the exchanged messages according to a method in accordance with the CAN standard ISO-11898-1; transferring, by the at least one of the data processing units, bits of the at least one first region within the exchanged message in a first data transfer mode; when a switchover condition exists, coding, by the at least one of the data processing units bits for at least one second region within the exchanged messages according to a method departing from the CAN standard ISO 11898-1: and transferring, by the at least one of the data processing units, bits of the at least one second region within the exchanged message in a second data transfer mode, wherein the coding for the at least one second region is selected such that the second data transfer mode achieves at least one of an elevated data transfer rate, elevated immunity to external interference, and less emission of electromagnetic waves in comparison to the first data transfer mode.
