Abstract
In a communications network wherein a central station (CS) is coupled to a plurality of network terminals (T, T, T, T) via the cascade connection of a common link (L) and respective individual links (L, L, L, L), and wherein the network terminals (T, T, T, T) transmit information in a time multiplexed way towards the central station (CS), the central station (CS) assigns timeslots for the upstream transmission to the network terminals (T, T, T, T) by broadcasting group identifiers (GI, GI, GI, GI). Each group identifier (GI) identifies a precomposed group (G) of network terminals (T, T) which respect a predetermined order for occupying upstream timeslots. In this way, the central station (CS) can assign a plurality of timeslots to a plurality of network terminals (T, T) by transmission of only one single group identifier (GI).
