transmission path


Explanation:
After some research, I concluded that your document is most likely related to the railway field (automatic train control).

From the referenced document, I gathered that there is an interface between the on-board unit and the brake controller (chapter 2.2, paragraph (2)).

In this case, I would go with "transmission path", or even "transmission channel".
