From the number of transmitted messages and the calculated transmission periods, the time needed for 1 bit transmission, corresponding to a certain bus baud rate when the bus is 80 % utilised by synchronous messages, needs to be calculated.
The minimum time required to perform a single data cycle, [T.sub.M], is rounded up to the nearest 10th value (TT) and it is defined as the time interval between two request messages for a particular baud rate. Baud rates such as 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 56000, 57600, and 115200 are selected to test the stability of the UART.
ANT channel will be maintained indefinitely at the given time interval and frame baud rate. The higher layers of the master will eventually provide new data to the ANT protocol for continuous transmission.
