Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a coordinator Ethernet node for an Ethernet communication system, the coordinator Ethernet node comprising: an interface for coupling to a shared media of the Ethernet communication system, wherein the coordinator Ethernet node is configured to transmit a first beacon via the interface and to trigger a first arbitration cycle by transmitting the first beacon, wherein the coordinator Ethernet node is configured to transmit a second beacon via the interface after the end of the first arbitration cycle and to trigger a second arbitration cycle by transmitting the second beacon, wherein each arbitration cycle comprises for the coordinator Ethernet node and each follower Ethernet node of the Ethernet network an associated field, referred to as TO field, representing a transmit opportunity for the respective Ethernet node, and wherein at least one of the arbitration cycles comprises a further field, referred to as a diagnostic field for diagnosing the shared media. The present disclosure also relates to a method for the coordinator Ethernet node.
