A user station for a bus system and a method for improving a reception quality of messages in a user station of a bus system are provided. The user station includes an estimation device for estimating a channel impulse response when and/or after only one further user station of the bus system transmits a message to the bus system, or for determining necessary functions of filters directly from a signal received by the user station, and a correction device for correcting a signal received by the user station based on the channel impulse response estimated by the estimation device.
