In a terrestrial station of a TDMA communication network, a TDMA frame includes a particular time slot shared by the station and other stations of the network. In order to increase communication traffic, each station can send a transmission burst in the particular time slot in addition to a preassigned time slot which is preassigned to the station. In response to a reception burst received through a prescribed time slot, the station determines whether or not it can send the transmission burst to the particular time slot. This makes it possible to change the communication traffic without causing overlap of bursts in the particular time slot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
In a terrestrial station of a time division multiple access communication network, said terrestrial station including transmission means for transmitting a transmission burst in a preassigned time slot of each up-link frame to a first one of other stations of said time division multiple access communication network and reception means for receiving a reception burst in a prescribed time slot of each down-link frame from a second one of said other stations, the improvement wherein: said up-link and said down-link frames include a particular up-link time slot and a particular down-link time slot, respectively, said particular up-link and said particular down-link time slots being shared by said terrestrial station and said other stations for transmission of a data signal between at least two of said terrestrial station and said other stations; said terrestrial station comprising: first detecting means coupled to said reception means for detecting said particular down-link time slot to produce a first detection signal upon detection of said particular down-link time slot; second detecting means coupled to said reception means and responsive to said first detection signal for detecting whether or not the particular down-link time slot carries the data signal, said second detecting means producing a second detection signal upon detection of the last-mentioned data signal; time slot signal producing means responsive to said first detection signal for producing a time slot signal indicative of the particular up-link time slot in each up-link frame; and allowing means coupled to said transmission means, said second detection means, and said time slot signal producing means for allowing said transmission means to start transmission of a data signal to said first one of the other stations as an addition to said transmission burst in the particular up-link time slot indicated by said time slot signal only when said second detecting means does not produce said second detection signal
