Abstract:
The present disclosure pertains to a method for transmitting communication data between a plurality of vehicle components of a motor vehicle, said vehicle components being coupled via a common communication channel. The present disclosure provides that said vehicle components transmit said communication data between any two of them, wherein one of said vehicle components broadcasts the communication data to be sent by it without demand and without a specific addressee via said communication channel, such that the sent communication data arrive at a plurality or all of the other vehicle components, and at least one of said other vehicle components reads and stores said communication data via said communication channel, if it is in demand thereof, wherein all transmitting vehicle components determine their transmission timings on the basis of a transmission schedule stored in each of said transmitting vehicle components independent from a bus master.
