摘要

The time slot management system is included in a digital time division multiple access system comprising a main station MS and a plurlity of substations U1/16 connected to each other by means of a tree network. The substations U1/16 send to the main station MS upstream information packet in time slots assigned to each of the former stations by the latter one. Part of the time slots is reserved for management information and used by the substation to inform the main station about the bandwidth needed for the further transfer of the upstream information. According to this information the time slot management system allocates the time slots and informs the substations thereof. In this way a flexible and dynamical time slot allocation is provided.
