Apparatus and method for communication between sending and/or receiving stations and a transfer station

摘要

In an apparatus and a method for communication between sending and/or receiving stations and a transfer station, data that are supplied from the sending stations to the transfer station are intended to be carried to receiving stations. The transfer station takes over the data supplied to it and carries the data directly or indirectly to a particular desired receiving station. A quantity of data taken over and/or to be taken over into the transfer station is determined, and the takeover of data from one or more sending stations to the transfer station can be interrupted selectively as a function of the result of determination.
