Abstract
A communication device with wireless and fixed side interfaces includes a shared resource used by a plurality of calls including first and second calls, a first part for estimating an amount of resources required for the first call in addition to a private resource thereof if there is a reduction in a transmission rate of the first call, and a second part for reserving the estimated amount of resources in the shared resource and allocating the reserved amount of resources to the private resource of the first call.
Claims25
A communication device including wireless and fixed side interfaces, the communication device comprising:
- a shared resource used by a plurality of calls including first and second calls;
- a first part for estimating an amount of resources required for the first call in addition to a private resource thereof if there is a reduction in a transmission rate of the first call, the private resource being reserved in said shared resource and allocated to the first call therefrom;
- a second part for reserving the estimated amount of resources in said shared resource and allocating the reserved amount of resources to the private resource of the first call.
A communication control method by which a private resource is allocated from a shared resource to each of a plurality of calls including first and second calls, the communication control method comprising the steps of:
- (a) measuring an amount of resources required for the first call in addition to the private resource thereof if there is a reduction in a transmission rate of the first call;
- and
- (b) reserving the estimated amount of resources in the shared resource and allocating the reserved amount of resources to the private resource of the first call.
