Method for serially transmitting a frame from a transmitter to at least one receiver by means of a bus system, and a subscriber station for a bus system

A subscriber station for a bus system, the subscriber station comprising:

• a transmitting/receiving device configured to (i) transmit a frame and (ii) receive the frame from a further subscriber station of the bus system via a bus line;
• and
• a controller including a processor and a memory, the memory including programmed instructions for execution by the processor, the programmed instructions including instructions for causing the controller to implement a method of verifying at least one item of information concerning a segment of the frame, the method comprising:
• causing the transmitting/receiving device to transmit the frame from a transmitter to a receiver via a bus line;
• before transmitting the frame,
• inserting stuff bits into the frame according to a predetermined rule to generate additional signal edges, and
• inserting into the frame at least one item of information concerning a segment of the frame, the segment having a predetermined sequence of bit values, the at least one item of information being inserted outside the segment of the frame,
• wherein the segment ends before a first stuff bit is inserted into the frame by the transmitter.

A bus system comprising:

• a bus line;
• and
• at least two subscriber stations configured to be connected to one another via the bus line such that they can communicate with one another, at least one of the at least two subscriber stations comprising:
• a transmitting/receiving device configured to (i) transmit a frame to and (ii) receive the frame from a further subscriber station of the at least two subscriber stations via the bus line;
• and
• a controller including a processor and a memory, the memory including programmed instructions for execution by the processor, the programmed instructions including instructions for causing the controller to implement a method of verifying at least one item of information concerning a segment of the frame, the method comprising:
• causing the transmitting/receiving device to transmit the frame from a transmitter to a receiver via a bus line;
• before transmitting the frame,
• inserting stuff bits into the frame according to a predetermined rule to generate additional signal edges, and
• inserting into the frame at least one item of information concerning a segment of the frame, the segment having a predetermined sequence of bit values, the at least one item of information being inserted outside the segment of the frame,
• wherein the segment ends before a first stuff bit is inserted into the frame by the transmitter.
