Patent ID: 8849329

Claim:
A method for the management of transmission resources in a communication network comprising a management entity adapted for allocating a transmission resource to a terminal from a plurality of terminals, said method comprising the following steps at the level of the management entity: /a/ associating a mobility value with each terminal of said plurality of terminals, said mobility value indicating a level of mobility of a terminal in the communication network, said mobility value being determined while taking account of at least one from among a first value indicating a cell change frequency and a second value indicating a modulation and coding change frequency for said terminal during a given period of time; /b/ selecting a terminal from among the plurality of terminals on the basis of a selection value m i (t) relating to a condition of instantaneous transmission of the terminal and of a characteristic relating to a condition of mean transmission of the terminal, while taking account of the mobility value which is associated therewith; and /c/ allocating the transmission resource to the selected terminal; wherein the selection value m i (t) is a combination of the instantaneous transmission rate and the mean transmission rate in which the mean transmission rate is weighted in function of the value of a parameter α k(i) varying inversely to the mobility value k(i) associated with the considered terminal (i).
