A method of scheduling an additional new processing task to be executed by a processor which is already executing a predetermined number of processing tasks to be executed within timeslots and in a periodic sequence of timeslots by the processor can include determining the periodicity of execution of each processing task, associating the performance consumption with each processing task, and scheduling the additional new processing task to be executed in a periodic sequence of timeslots so as to satisfy a predetermined performance consumption criterion. Further, the present invention relates to a communication system, computer device, scheduler and a Central Processing Unit (CPU) with a scheduler.

Method for reserving bandwidth in a packet-oriented network, in which a packet-oriented communication link is set up between a plurality of network elements using at least one communication path. In this case, an identification number which is unique to the communication link and is intended to identify the communication paths associated with the communication link is allocated. A bandwidth value for a respective communication path is then determined as the maximum bandwidth required by network elements in this communication path, and bandwidth in the respective communication path is reserved using the bandwidth value.

In the method for assignment of time slots to a multichannel link, the incoming and outgoing time slots are each provided with an identification which unambiguously defines the sequence. At least one auxiliary variable is determined which, for a given time, relates to the difference between a number of outgoing time slots and incoming time slots for the multichannel link within the respective frames. The method and the switching device ensure a multichannel link with guaranteed bit integrity.
