Abstract
A point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication network comprises at least one management center and remote traffic stations, between which radio links sharing resources allocated dynamically by the management center have been established. Each traffic station is tasked, whenever it needs additional resources to increase the useful traffic (UT) that it must transmit to the management center, with adding to the current useful traffic (UT) a first traffic (ST), known as smoothing traffic and representative of a selected margin, and a second traffic (AT), known as anticipated traffic and representative of an anticipated need for additional resources, in order to implicitly solicit the management center, then with determining whether additional resources were allocated by the management center, and, if additional resources were allocated, to increase the useful traffic (UT) by an amount corresponding as much as possible to the sum of the resources corresponding to the first traffic (ST) and allocated additional resources.
