1. A station for serial data transmission using data frames in a communication network having a plurality of stations, the station configured to perform a carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) method, wherein the station comprises:

  • a classification device configured to perform a first priority resolution for a specific data frame to be transmitted on a communication channel;

    a processing device configured to establish whether the specific data frame to be transmitted has a highest priority for data frames queued by the plurality of stations for transmission on the communication channel;

    a selection device configured to perform a first backoff if the specific data frame has the highest priority;

    a transmission device configured to transmit the specific data frame; and

    a reprioritization device configured to raise the priority of the specific data frame, in the absence of acknowledgement of the transmission of the specific data frame, to a priority level that is used exclusively for collided data frames.
