Participant and communications controller of a communication system and method for implementing a functionality of the gateway in a participant of a communication system.

摘要

Participant (900) of a communication system where the participant (900) comprises a microprocessor (102), at least two communication controllers (750a, 750b, 750c) and a peripheral bus (820), and wherein the microprocessor (102 ), via the peripheral bus (820) is in contact with the communication controllers (750a, 750b, 750c) and, through communication controllers (750a, 750b, 750c) is connected, respectively, to link communications (101a, 101b, 101c) of the communication system, whereby messages are transmitted, characterized p ecause at least one of the communication controllers (750a, 750c) has an active interface (834), whereby the controller communications (750a, 750c) is in contact with the peripheral bus (820) and through which the communication controller (750a, 750c) can send data and instructions to another participant of the peripheral bus (820) and a logical unit for the autonomous implementation of a functionality of a gateway, and because communication controllers (750a, 750b, 750c) each have a message memory (300a, 300b, 300c) for temporary storage of messages from the communications link (101a, 101b, 101c) associated with the communication controller (750a, 750b, 750c) or for the communication link (101a, 101b, 101c), wherein the logic unit coordinates and controls autonomous routing of data between the memory messages (300a, 300b, 300c) of a communication controller (750a, 750b, 750c) and the microprocessor (102) or between the message memories (300a, 300b, 300c) of the communication controller (750a, 750b, 750c) .
