RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DEVICE FOR A COMMUNICATION NETWORK WITH INTER-NODE CONNECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SHARED RESOURCE PREEMPTION RIGHTS AND ACCESS-TO-RESOURCE PRIORITY

摘要

The invention concerns a device (D) dedicated to the management of resources in a communication network comprising nodes (LER, LCR) mutually connected via connections. Said device (D) comprises management means (MG) for defining connections and associating same with resources such that said connections may be set up if needed. The management means (MG) are further configured to associate with each connection, based on a selected criterion, either a first status wherein it is provided with a preemption right on the selected resources shared at least partly with another connection, without being authorized to use them, or a second status wherein the connection is authorized to use the selected resources for setting up said connection.
