Method for contention free traffic detection
The invention discloses a method for detecting priority of data frames comprising the steps of extracting (S1) a bit pattern from a predetermined position in a frame, comparing (S2, S3) the extracted bit pattern with a search pattern, and identifying (S4) the received frame as a priority frame in case the extracted bit pattern (BP) matches with the first search pattern (SP). By this method, the priority of a data frame can easily be detected. The invention also proposes a corresponding device for detecting priority of data frames.
