Abstract:
1. A method for optimized allocation of a communication resource to transmit messages from first units to a second unit, each of the first units including embedded applications and a terminal for communicating with the second unit, a message being associated with a delay requirement and a size, the method comprising: receiving, by the terminal, messages originating from the embedded applications and, for each message, of a time reference indicating a time of reception of the message by the terminal; transmitting, by the terminal, a capacity request for at least one message, the capacity request indicating the size of the message, the delay requirement being associated with the message and the time reference of the message; receiving, by a control center of the communication resource, the capacity request; allocating the communication resource to each terminal of the first units by performing a message scheduling calculation based on the time reference and the delay requirement of the messages; broadcasting, to each terminal of the first units, an allocation plan determined based on the calculated scheduling; and calculating, for each message, a latest transmission time, the latest transmission time of the message being equal to its time of reception by the terminal plus its delay requirement, wherein the messages are scheduled in ascending order of latest transmission time.
