Abstract
A system is for transmitting data in a network and includes emitter nodes, each including a transmitter for transmitting requests for data transmission. The system may also include a receiver node receiving the data transmission from the emitter nodes and including a first memory for storing data transmitted by each emitter node, a second memory for storing the requests, and a transmitter. The data may be transmitted from the emitter nodes to the receiver node when memory space is available in the first memory to receive data. The transmitter of the receiver node may transmit to each emitter node an acknowledgement message when memory space is available in the first memory to receive at least a portion of the data transmitted. Each emitter node may establish a communication link with the receiver node and transmits the data based upon the acknowledgement message. The communication link may be locked until all data is transmitted.
