ABSTRACT:
Communication between a plurality of data stations (100(1)-100(N)) serially interconnected by way of a line (101) arranged in a ring is provided by bit interleaved data packets. A control station generates framing signals to designate the start of each packet, staggering the packets so that only one packet header appears on the line at a time. Processing equipment (114) at each station monitors all the headers, seizing "empty" packets if the station has a data burst to send and reading the data burst if the packet is addressed thereto.
