Abstract
A method is disclosed for assigning time slots in a system comprising a plurality of subscriber facilities (NT) connected to a center (HUB) via a common medium, the common medium being divided into a plurality of frequency or wavelength channels which are subdivided into time slots. The center assigns time slots to at least part of the subscriber facilities by specifying one channel and one time-slot number for each assigned time slot. After each time slot used, each subscriber facility involved changes to the next allocated channel. Each subscriber facility involved sends information in the time slot with the next assigned time-slot number. Also disclosed are a system, a center, and a subscriber facility for carrying out this method.
