Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of transmitting data at a time-variable data rate, to a connection control module for a network facility (SWSW) therefor, and to a communications module for a user terminal (T–T) therefor. In the method, a user terminal (T–T) sends to a facility (SW, SW) of a network (NET) a request for a connection to a communication partner (T–TCSCS) with a guaranteed data rate (DVTDVTDVGDVG). The network (NET) establishes the connection and makes the guaranteed data rate available therefor. The user terminal (T–T) performs a first data transfer on the connection to the communication partner. Then the connection is released. During the existence of the connection, the performance of the following steps is proposed: determining a portion (FVTFVTFVGFVG) of the guaranteed data rate not currently used by the user terminal; releasing the unused portion for at least a second data transfer; and, if necessary, again making available the entire guaranteed data rate, including the previously released portion, to the user terminal.
