ABSTRACT:
The blocks to be sent on one or more physical channels for packet mode transmission pertain to several temporary block flows to terminals. The terminals are distributed into several subscription classes corresponding to various priority levels and each associated with a throughput restriction parameter. Transmission throug hputs allocated to the flows as a function of transmission throughputs respectively requested during the creation of the flows and restriction parameters associated with the subscription classes are determined. At least one traffic channel supported by a physical channel is allotted to each new flow created. For each send period on a physical channel, a flow to which a traffic channel supported by this physical channel is allotted, is selected with the aid of the values of the transmission throughputs allocated, so as to send a block of the selected flow in the course of said period.
