Abstract:
1. A method for reserving resources within a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication network, in which radio links (Li) have been established between remote traffic stations (TSi) and a management center (MC), said links (Li) sharing resources dynamically allocated by said management center (MC), characterized in that said method comprises, when additional resources are needed within a traffic station to increase the useful traffic to be transmitted to said management center (MC), the steps of attaching to this useful traffic a first traffic representative of a selected margin, and a second traffic whose volume is representative of an anticipation of said need for additional resources, in such a way as to implicitly solicit said management center (MC), determining by said management center whether or not additional resources should be allocated, based at least in part on said volume of said second traffic; then determining within said traffic station (TSi) whether the additional resources were allocated by the management center (MC), and if additional resources were allocated, increasing the useful traffic by an amount that corresponds as much as possible to the sum of the resources corresponding to the first traffic and said allocated additional resources, or if no additional resources were allocated, blocking any establishment of a new traffic channel until additional resources are obtained.
