Subscriber station and method for deterministic communication in a serial bus system

A bus system, comprising:

• a bus;
• and
• at least two subscriber stations which are connected to one another via the bus in such a way that the subscriber stations can communicate in series with one another, each of the subscriber stations including:
• a communication control device configured to control a communication of the subscriber station with at least one other subscriber station of the bus system by generating a message based on a frame and by transmitting the message to a bus of the bus system and by evaluating at least one signal received from a bus of the bus system based on the frame, wherein a bit time of the frame in a first communication phase can differ from a bit time of the frame in a second communication phase, and
• a pause module configured to evaluate at least one item of status information output by the communication control device,
• wherein the pause module is configured to generate and output a transmission delay signal based on a result of its evaluation, to delay or not delay a provision of a transmission message to the communication control device, wherein the transmission message is to be transmitted from the communication control device as a message to the bus.
