Estimating the term…
In a multiple-user network communication system such as a satellite-based system, or in cable or wireless systems, the system resources, such as bandwidth, code allocation, and or slot timing, are allocated to users based in part on their class of service. The allocation provides for immediate allocation of the requested resources to a user having a verified high class of service so long as the resources are abatable or can be made available by tapping a resource reserve. If only a portion of the requested resources are available, they are made available immediately. From time to time, the resources available to at least one class of service are allocated among the users of that class of service, either equally, equally up to the requested resources, equitably, or in some systematic manner.
A method for operating a communication network, the resources of which are shared among a plurality of users in a single-class system, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for operating a communication network with a plurality of shared users sharing network resources on a class basis, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for dynamically allocating network resources in a communication network having a plurality of shared users, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for dynamically allocating network resources in a communication network having a plurality of shared users, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for dynamically allocating network resources in a communication network having a plurality of shared users, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for operating a communication network, the resources of which are shared among a plurality of users in a single-class system, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for operating a user terminal in a communication system, the resources of which are shared among a plurality of user terminals, where, said network (a) responds to requests for network resources from a newly accessing user terminal, or for additional network resources from a currently accessing user terminal, so long as said requests are authorized, by making the requested network resources immediately available from network resources including a pool of nominally unused network resources, (b) from time to time readjusts the network resources allocated among all of at least some sets of user terminals of said network, in a manner which tends to maintain said pool of nominally unused network resources at a given level, and (c)
