METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL

摘要

A network comprises first and second resources shared by a plurality of users, and a subscriber exchange. In this network, the first common resource (for example, a radio base station in the mobile radio network) performs traffic control of the data transmitted to the subscriber exchange through the second common resource (for example, a transmission channel between the radio base station and the exchange). This ensures traffic control and effective use of the common resources of the network. Data sent in bursts with a particular period is subjected to appropriate control in such a manner that the cumulative amount of data transmission in the traffic-monitoring period in consideration of the particular period does not exceed an allowable amount of transmission.
