Abstract
A star coupler has the ability to distinguish signals arriving via connections according to the time slot in which they arrive and to forward these signals to at least one other connection on the basis of the connection via which the signals arrive and on the basis of the time slot. An assignment in which the star coupler once treats the bus system as a single bus system and virtually divides the bus system into two subsystems in another time slot is possible in particular.
