A resource manager (560) for managing the resources of a virtual bearer channel platform (250). The platform includes transaction processing units TPUs (161-164). Each TPU processes service requests transmitted by a caller or transmits service requests to a destination called party. The platform (250) has a distribution network that interfaces with the TPUs and acts as a shared bus between the TPUs. The platform receives and transmits communications with a communications network over bearer channels of a high bandwidth pipe (215). A cross-connecting controller (510) multiplexes the signals coming into the platform over the bearer channels onto the distribution network (540), and also demultiplexes signals going out over the bearer channels from the distribution network. The resource manager (560) provides a centralized control for the allocation of bandwidth to the transaction processing units (161-164). It allocates available bearer channels for the connections with the communications network, and also allocates available time slots in the distribution network to the TPUs. The resource manager (560) updates the status of the distribution network in real time, responding to the platform communication needs adaptively.

L'invention concerne un gestionnaire (560) de ressources permettant de gérer les ressources d'une plate-forme (250) à canaux supports virtuels. Ladite plate-forme comprend des unités de traitement de transactions (TPU) (161-164). Chaque TPU traite des demandes de service émises par un appelant, ou transmet les demandes de service destinées à un appelé destinataire. La plate-forme (250) comporte un réseau de distribution servant d'interface entre les TPU; elle joue le rôle d'un bus commun entre les TPU. La plate-forme reçoit et émet des communications via un réseau de communications sur les canaux supports d'une structure (215) de communication large bande. Un contrôleur (510) d'interconnexion multiplexe les signaux arrivant au niveau de la plate-forme sur les canaux supports au réseau (540) de distribution. Il multiplexe également des signaux sortant du réseau de distribution sur les canaux supports. Le gestionnaire (560) de ressources assure une commande centralisée de l'attribution de la bande de fréquence aux unités de traitement des transactions (161-164). Il attribue non seulement des canaux supports disponibles pour les connexions au réseau de communication, mais aussi des créneaux temporels disponibles du réseau de distribution aux TPU. Le gestionnaire (560) de ressources met à jour le statut du réseau de distribution en temps réel, répondant ainsi de manière adaptative aux exigences de communication de la plate-forme.
