A method carries out statistical multiplexing in a telecommunications network comprising a transmitting unit for transferring channels containing information from at least two traffic sources, a receiving unit and a transmission link between them. The information to be transmitted in the telecommunication system is transferred over the transmission link in transmission frames. The method is characterized by assembling a variable-length transmission frame comprising an allocation field and an information field, identifying an active channel, allocating an information field transmission block from the transmission frame to the active channel's information to be transferred, inserting the information to be transferred into the allocated transmission block, adding the channel allocation information into the allocation field of the transmission frame in which the channel's information is for the first time continuously transferred, maintaining the channel's allocation for as long as the channel is continuously active, and transmitting the transmission frame to the receiving unit.
