Abstract:
1. Method of transmission of streams in a network, wherein at least two of said streams have a same stream type and access categories giving access to said network with predetermined transmission priority levels are predeterminedly attributed to each stream type and a set of medium access parameters is predeterminedly attributed to each of said access categories, the method comprising the following steps: determination of differentiating transmission priority levels for each of the streams of a same type according to a selection criterion for prioritization between streams of a same type; modification of attribution of access categories predetermined for each of said stream types so that at least one of said streams of a same type for which a lower differentiating transmission priority level is determined is down categorized in an access category giving access to the network with a lower transmission priority level than at least one of said streams of a same type being considered as more important; modification of the set of medium access parameters attributed to said access category giving access to the network with a lower transmission priority level, enabling distribution of said streams of a same type in said access category with said lower differentiating transmission priority level; and transmission of said streams according to said modified attribution of access categories predetermined for each of said stream types and according to said modified set of medium access parameters attributed to said access categories.
