Abstract
In a multi-access communication system where a center station dynamically allocates the band of an uplink to subscriber stations, the band of an uplink is flexibly and efficiently allocated when the up-service quality is insured. When requesting a service quality assurance, the subscriber station transmits the service quality request information to the center station . The center station transmits the identifier allocation information to the subscriber station to allocate an identifier. When the service priority is high, the center station periodically transmits the reservation transmission permission information and to the subscriber station at the reservation permission transmission intervals , thus checking for the presence or absence of reservation information. Waste consumption of the up-band can be suppressed by periodically transmitting the reservation transmission permission information even if subscriber stations issue up-data at irregular intervals. The upper limit value of up-delay amount can be insured by adjusting the transmission period of reservation transmission permission information.
