Estimating the term…
A point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communications network comprises remote traffic stations connected to a management center (CG) by radio links sharing resources. The management center (CG) comprises management means (13) for determining a primary distribution of the resources, including assignment margins, between the radio links that it manages and previously set up between the traffic stations, as a function of first information data representing rates of occupancy per traffic type of the resources previously assigned to the radio links. Each traffic station can then determine a secondary distribution between its traffic types of the resources assigned to its radio link as a result of the primary distribution, taking account of its own rates of occupancy per traffic type.
A method of managing resources in a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communications network in which radio links (Li) sharing resources have been set up between remote traffic stations (STi) and a management center (CG), characterized in that it comprises i) determining for each traffic station (STi) first information data representing rates of occupancy per traffic type of the resources previously assigned to its radio link (Li), ii) determining at least as a function of said rates of occupancy per traffic type a primary distribution of said resources between the radio links (Li), including assignment margins, and iii) determining for each traffic station (STi) a secondary distribution between traffic types of the resources assigned to its radio link (Li) as a result of the primary distribution, taking account of its rates of occupancy per traffic type.
A traffic management center (CG) for a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communications network comprising remote traffic stations (STi) connected to said management center by radio links (Li) sharing resources, characterized in that it comprises management means (13) for determining a primary distribution of said resources, including assignment margins, between the radio links (Li) that they manage and that have previously been set up between traffic stations (STi) at least as a function of first information data representing rates of occupancy per traffic type of resources previously assigned to said radio links (Li) so that each traffic station (STi) is able to determine a secondary distribution between traffic types of resources assigned to its radio link (Li) as a result of said primary distribution, taking account of its own rates of occupancy per traffic type.
