Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'allocation de bande passante comprenant une unité de détection et une unité de réglage. L'unité de détection détecte une connexion à un réseau optique passif par un dispositif terminal de ligne d'abonné qui ne présente aucune file d'attente de réservation de transmission pour mettre en attente des données de liaison montante dont la transmission a été autorisée, jusqu'à une heure de début de transmission. L'unité de réglage règle un temps de calcul pour le dispositif terminal de ligne d'abonné dans une période de fonctionnement pour une commande de bande passante de liaison montante entre le dispositif terminal de ligne d'abonné et un dispositif de terminaison de ligne d'abonné, le temps de calcul étant le temps nécessaire pour le calcul de la quantité de données de liaison montante qui doivent être transmises parmi la quantité de données de liaison montante dont la transmission a été autorisée, et pour le calcul de la quantité de données de liaison montante dont la transmission a été demandée.
