Abstract

A subscriber station for a serial bus system. The subscriber station has a communication control device for controlling a communication of the subscriber station with at least one other subscriber station of the bus system, a transmitting/receiving device for transmitting a transmission signal in a frame on a bus of the bus system, and a scheduling unit for scheduling a temporal access of the subscriber station to the bus in at least one time slot of a cycle of temporally consecutive time slots, at least one time slot being provided in a cycle for each subscriber station for transmitting its transmission signal and the cycle repeating cyclically. The scheduling unit is designed to determine an assignment that specifies which time slot of the cycle the transmitting/receiving device is allowed to use for transmitting the frame for the transmission signal on the bus.
