Abstract: A multi-user flexible Ethernet fine granularity time slot allocation method and apparatus. The method is specifically: providing two time slot resource allocation and deployment schemes according to user demands, where the first scheme performs time slot allocation based only on an objective of global minimization of jitter of time slot allocated to all the users and can improve resource allocation equity and improve whole performance of a network. The second scheme performs weighted sum of delay and jitter minimization based time slot allocation on each user according to the quantity of time slots required for the users in sequence from large to small on the premise of most user input data in the current time slot assignment period being transmitted in the current time slot assignment period.
