Data (D1-D10) is to be transmitted via a common medium (SM). Data conforming with a given criterion is grouped into a first class (K1, K3), otherwise it is grouped into a second data class (K2, K4). This separation is carried out by a terminal (T1-3) connected to the medium. The medium access controller (MC) allocates transmission capacity of the medium for the first data class, and this data is transmitted accordingly. Any unused transmission capacity is released for transmission of the second class of data. Independent claims are included for; (1) access controller, (2) control module, (3) termination unit, (4) multipoint-to-point network, and (5) computer readable medium used for application. |
