Abstract
The invention relates to a procedure for the allocation of time slots for a transmission of data in variable time slots between a controller of a packet-oriented data network on the one hand and a terminal of a user of the data network on the other hand. The time slots are assigned to a terminal for a data flow following request made by the terminal and in dependence on the transmission capacity available in the data network, and are temporarily stored in a ring buffer before they are allocated to the terminal at a predefinable allocation instant. In order to simplify and accelerate the allocation of time slots in such a data network, it is proposed that a temporal write range be defined in the ring buffer by a variable first upper time threshold and a variable first lower time threshold.
