Abstract:
1. A method for setting up a call with bit-rate allocation in a multiple bit-rate transmission channel enabling a call to be conveyed between a central module ( 33 ) and a remote module ( 37 ), said multiple bit-rate transmission channel comprising at least one first transmission channel according to a primary bit rate and at least one second transmission channel according to a secondary bit rate that is distinct from said primary bit rate, said method being designed to be implemented notably to convey a call between a calling module and a called module, said call being set up according to a setting-up process comprising the following steps: a first step ( a second step ( a third step for the sending, by said calling module, of a signal of acknowledgment of said response signal; a fourth step ( said method further comprises the following steps: a phase for the setting up by default of said call on a first primary bit-rate transmission channel; a phase ( and, assuming a detection of said signal indicating a secondary bit-rate requirement, a phase ( wherein said response signal is sent by said called module during a predetermined maximum response duration ( characterized in that said masking step (
