A METHOD OF MANAGING TRAFFIC FLOWS IN A WIDEBAND INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, AND A NETWORK FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

摘要

In each terminal 2 to 9, the method of the present invention;Continuously transmitting data cells after transmitting the first cell and while waiting to receive an acknowledgment corresponding to the first cell, and limiting the number of cells transmitted during the waiting to a predetermined number W, W Stopping cell transmission for a predetermined period Trep if no acknowledgment is received before all cells have been transmitted; retransmitting the first cell if a corresponding acknowledgment is not received during the period Trep; primary transmission of the first cell If no acknowledgment is received after the predetermined delay Tmax measured from, then the step of releasing the connection occupied by the terminal under consideration is made. The predetermined values of W, Trep, and Tmax depend on the function of the type of service provided by the terminal under consideration.;In the network 1, in the case of an overdense state, the management method is;Determining the values of the parameters W, Trep, and Tmax of each connection in accordance with the function of the service type provided by the connection, delaying a series of W cells transmitted successively on each connection and reducing the delay to less than Tmax. Limiting to a value, and releasing one cell and other identical cells transmitted on the connection and limiting the period corresponding to the cell loss to a value less than Tmax.
