1. Method for repeating data transmitted incorrectly (ARQ), in which method for the purpose of transmission between subscribers (T1, T2) having in each case at least one transmit section, and at least one receive section, a data stream at the transmitting subscriber's end is subdivided into data words having a predetermined length and is combined to form data words and the individual data words are temporarily stored in a transmit buffer, are transmitted, if necessary via a transmit unit, and are received by the receiving subscriber, if necessary in a receive unit and, after temporary storage in a receive buffer are output, in which arrangement an error which has occurred during the transmission is detected and a command for retransmission of the data word transmitted incorrectly is issued via the transmit section of the receiving subscriber and the receive section of the transmitting subscriber to the transmit section of the transmitting subscriber, the ARQ retransmissions of the data transmitted incorrectly being carried out via a predetermined proportion, which is constant in the time average, of the number of data words transmitted within the averaged period of time, characterized in that, if the proportion provided for the retransmission is exceeded by incorrect data words, the incorrect data words are output from the receive buffer in a form not corresponding to their original information.

Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the proportion of the retransmissions carried out in the time average is selected to be approximately 3.3%.
