Patent ID: 8855109

Claim:
A method for transmitting data in messages on a bus system, the method comprising: transmitting messages in transmission time slots at a preselected transmission rate, wherein each transmission time slot is uniquely allocated to a corresponding single message; dynamically changing, during transmission of messages, the transmission rate for at least one transmission time slot in such a way that a corresponding single message provided for the at least one transmission time slot is transmitted repeatedly within the at least one transmission time slot; comparing at least two of the messages transmitted repeatedly within a transmission time slot with one another; and detecting a fault in the event of deviations, with regard to at least parts of the messages; wherein N of the messages transmitted repeatedly within a transmission time slot are compared with one another, and, within the scope of an M out of N deviation with regard to at least parts of the messages, at least one message is detected as being faulty, the messages detected as faulty being rejected, wherein M and N are integers, and wherein N>2 and (N/2)<M<N.
