MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES IN A POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT- OR MULTIPOINT-TO-MULTIPOINT-TYPE COMMUNICATION NETWORK, USING TWO ALLOCATION LEVELS

摘要

The invention relates to a point-to-multipoint- or multipoint-to-multipoint-type communications network comprising remote traffic stations which are connected to a traffic management centre (CG) by means of resource-sharing radio links. The management centre (CG) comprises management means (13) for determining a primary resource distribution, including allocation margins, between the different radio links which they manage and which have been pre-set between the traffic stations, according to first information data representative of the occupancy rates, by type of traffic, for the resources previously allocated to said radio links. Each traffic station can then determine a secondary distribution, between the different traffic types thereof, of the resources which have been allocated to the radio link thereof by the primary distribution, taking account of at least the occupancy rates by type of traffic.
