Abstract:
A communications network comprises a plurality of participants. A first participant transmits a message repeating sequence of N≥2 successive messages to a second participant. An action which can be performed by the second participant is assigned to each message in the sequence. The first participant begins to transmit one of the N messages at N successive transmission times T_I (I=0, . . . , N−1). Each of the N messages contains a field defining a waiting time assigned to the respective message W _ I=T _( N −1)− T _ I+ΔW _ I  ( I =0, . . . , N −1), where ΔW_I is a non-negative tolerance time. The second participant selects one message from among the messages in the sequence which are successfully received by the second participant as a useful message, measures a time elapsed since reception of the useful message, and performs the action assigned to the useful message when the elapsed time has reached the assigned waiting time.

Claim (Index 15):
The participant according to  claim 13 , wherein the participant has a clocked counter, to which a final value is assigned, and wherein the participant is set up, in response to the successful reception of a message, provided that the counter is then at its final value:\n to select the message as the useful message; to determine a starting value corresponding to the waiting time defined by the useful message, to set the counter to the starting value, to start the counter and to stop the counter when the final value is reached; and to perform the action assigned to the message only when the down-counter has reached the final value.
