Abstract
In a system including a resource which is shared among a number of users, it is difficult to distribute the available capacity of the resources fairly among the users and still maximize resource utilization. Additionally, it is desirable to allow at least some of the control over usage rates to remain with the users, while at the same time avoiding situations where the resource is overloaded. A system and method are disclosed wherein usage rates are selected from among a set of available rates according to a set of persistence vectors.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- assigning a first vector to a first user of a resource shared by multiple users, the first vector containing one or more vector elements, each vector element of the first vector indicating a probability of a corresponding usage rate;
- and
- determining a first usage rate for the first user for a first period, based at least in part, on the first vector.
A system comprising:
- a resource having a finite capacity;
- multiple users including a first user to share the resource;
- and
- a set of vectors each of which containing one or more elements, each element representing a probability of using a corresponding usage rate,
- wherein the first user's usage of the resource during a first interval is determined at least in part based on a vector assigned to the first user.
