Method in a serial communication
There is disclosed a method in which a status of a first contact and a status of a second contact are detected. At least one of the detected statuses are used to determine whether the first contact is free for transferring data. If the determining indicates that the data connection is free for transferring data, a first arbitration delay is waited before the status of the first contact and the status of the second contact are again detected. A transmission of a start bit is then started if the detected status of the first contact and the detected status of the second contact indicate that the first contact is still free for transferring data. There is also disclosed an apparatus and a storage medium having stored thereon a computer executable program code for use by an apparatus to implement the method.
