Method of processing UMTS calls in a packet transmission network and node for the UMTS network and for implementing said method

A method of processing UMTS calls in a packet transmission network, the network comprising UMTS network nodes;

• the method being characterized in that in order to accept a new UMTS call for setting up in a UMTS network node, it consists in particular in:
• calculating for the new call an equivalent passband as a function of:
• the quality of service requested for the new call;
• and
• the quality of service attributes of the UMTS medium corresponding to the call;
• then comparing the sum of the equivalent passband for the new call plus the equivalent passbands of all of the calls already set up in the UMTS network node with a predetermined maximum value;
• and
• accepting the new call with guaranteed requested quality of service only if the sum is less than or equal to said predetermined maximum value.
