A METHOD FOR HANDLING RESOURCES IN A DIGITAL TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXED COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method for handling resources in a digital time-division multiplexed communication network, which network comprises nodes on a link. The nodes can have ownership of time slots, and can borrow and lend time slots. One node on said link is operative to control distribution changes of time slot ownership on behalf of two or more nodes on the link, while control of borrowing and lending of time slots is decentralised among the nodes on the link.
