In order to further develop a communication system (400) as well as a corresponding communication method in such way that a protection of the communication medium (300, 310) from timing failures of a communication controller (120) of a node (100), in particular a limited protection of the communication channel (300, 310) from illegal transmissions in the time domain, can be achieved without providing any bus guardian, it is proposed to prevent any transmission of the node (100) during phases with high susceptibility to illegal transmission, in particular during the communication startup of the communication system (400).
A node, in particular an electronic control unit, of a distributed communication system with a number of nodes, in particular with at least one fail-silent node, the nodes being interconnected by a communication medium, in particular by at least one channel and by at least one optional further channel, characterized by
(canceled)
A method for monitoring communication between and among a number of nodes, in particular between and among at least one unprotected node and at least one fail-silent node, said communication being based on at least one cyclic time-triggered communication medium access schedule being assigned to at least one communication controller,
14-16. (canceled)
