    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, there is provided a method of regulating access to a unidirectional bus transmission system to which a plurality of stations identified by labels are connected, on which system data are transmitted in time slots which are released in numbered cycles by a headend unit, and in which said headend unit sends, for each of said cycles, a request poll message carrying the respective cycle number. The method comprises i) logically combining by means of a predetermined logic function, for data to be transmitted, a source station label and a destination station label, ii) deriving a first control number from the logical combination of the source station label and the destination station label, iii) using, for requesting slots in which to transmit said data, only a request poll message carrying a cycle number which corresponds to said first control number, and iv) subsequently transmitting said data in slots of a cycle whose number corresponds to said first control number. A network which makes use of said method is also described.
