The present invention proposes a method for scheduling resource in a packet network, a network element for exchanging signaling with user equipments and a user equipment, wherein user equipments communicate therebetween using the resource allocated by network elements, said communication comprises talk-spurt periods during which data packets are transmitted and silent periods during which silence descriptor packets are transmitted, said method for scheduling resource comprising: said network element allocates resource for said user equipment for communication; both said user equipment and said network element detect the presence of said silence descriptor packet; said user equipment stops using the allocated resource and said network element releases the allocated resource, when said silence descriptor packet is detected; said network element determines the end of the interval for transmitting said silence descriptor packet; said network element allocates new resource to said user equipment when said interval ends or when a request for allocating resource is received from said user equipment before the end of said interval. |
