1. A method for dynamic regulation of resource splitting over a plurality of data streams competing for the resources in a communications network, the resources to be split being made available in a resource pool from which, for each competing data stream, a resource share is taken and is allocated to the data stream, comprising the steps of:

  • dynamically aligning the resource requirement for a data stream on the basis that, if the resource requirement has risen, a correspondingly greater resource share is allocated if possible or resources which are no longer required are returned to the resource pool, for which purpose a time profile is ascertained for the resource requirement of the data stream and comparing it with a prescribed threshold value, where as soon as the resource requirement reaches or exceeds the threshold value the allocated resource share (RS) is increased if there are still other resources available in the resource pool, or otherwise only after a prescribed time period has elapsed is another check carried out to determine whether the resource requirement still or again reaches or exceeds the threshold value and whether resources are available for allocation in the resource pool again.
