Abstract

In a communications network, first information items are transmitted synchronously and second information items asynchronously. The second information items are overlaid on the synchronously transmitted first information items. A bandwidth accessible on transmission can be variably distributed between the first and second information items and, with the desired variable distribution, transmitting and receiving units become synchronized by synchronization information which is transmitted via a channel established for asynchronous transmission between the transmitting and receiving units.
