Method and device for allocating transmission resources

Abstract

A method and a device are provided for allocating, in cycles, resources of a transmission medium to data streams for multiplexed transmission of said data streams via said transmission medium. According to the invention, for each cycle, a share of the resources to each of the data streams is allocated and for each cycle the allocation is assessed depending on the allocation of a previous cycle. Furthermore, for each cycle, a size of each share depending on a traffic demand of at least one of the data streams may be determined and the allocation may be performed such that for each cycle the sequence of the data streams in the allocation is altered
