Abstract

Distribution of data transfer rates in a network, especially in a DVB-H-network, via a trading system, similar to a market place, between information signal providers of the network. A trading platform comprising data transfer rate acquisition devices or software agents (200) and a data transfer rate allocation device or a data transfer rate intermediary (700) are used to control data transfer rates of the individual information signal providers (1000). Subscribers to the trading platform are the software agents or data transfer rate acquisition devices. These act on behalf of the information signal provider, taking on the trade with data transfer rates of the multiplexes, and thereby acquiring transmission capacities for the information signal services associated therewith.
