Abstract
A method for transmitting multimedia data in MPEG format between multimedia nodes of a communication system via at least one communication link of the communication system. To configure the transmission of the multimedia data in the most efficient possible manner and to reduce the number of different communication systems in a vehicle, the MPEG multimedia data is transmitted via a FlexRay communication system according to the FlexRay protocol. For this purpose, the size of the payload segments of FlexRay data frames may be adjusted to the size of the MPEG data frames. The payload segment of a FlexRay data frame may be selected to be of the same size as the MPEG data frame, in particular 188 bytes long.
