PCT No. PCT/SE97/00521 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 25, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/36401 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 2, 1997The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for dynamic signalling in a network, such as a Dynamic Synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) network. The network's bandwidth is divided into cycles, which in turn are divided into control slots for control signalling and data slots for transferring data. Preferably, each or certain nodes have a node controller, which control the access to slots. According to the invention data slots are converted into control slots, called dynamic control slots, or control slots are converted into data slots in order to change the signalling capacity of a node. The dynamic control slots may be used for point-to-point, multicast or broadcast signalling. |
