Zuweisung von Mitteln in einem dienste-integrierenden Satelliten-Netzwerk durch vorzeitige Reservierung

摘要

The invention relates to a method for allocating a resource in a periodic frame of a satellite asynchronous digital network, on each of the bursts of cells of the sporadic connections transmitted by land stations. A request for resource allocation, such as a time interval in a data sub-frame of the frame, is transmitted by the land station to a central station for network management, from the start of reception of the burst and thus well before the land station has fully received the burst coming from one of the user stations. Each of the resource allocation requests relating to the bursts of a connection is satisfied since the request includes no information about the burst. The acceptance or refusal of a request for connection is determined as a function of an algorithm precluding any overloading of the network and a slump in its performance.
