Abstract
Disclosed is a method of scheduling bandwidth, comprising, receiving a first bandwidth request associated with the first communication device. Receiving, from a policy agent, a second bandwidth request associated with a second communication device. The second bandwidth request does not originate from the second communication device. Bandwidth is granted to the first communication device based on the first bandwidth request. Bandwidth is granted to the second communication device based on the second bandwidth request.
Claims20
A method of scheduling bandwidth, comprising:
- receiving a first bandwidth request associated with a first communication device;
- receiving, from a policy agent, a second bandwidth request associated with a second communication device, said second bandwidth request not originating from said second communication device;
- granting bandwidth to said first communication device based on said first bandwidth request;
- and,
- granting bandwidth to said second communication device based on said second bandwidth request.
2 more elements
A system for granting bandwidth requests to a shared medium, comprising:
- a first request processor that receives indicators of bandwidth requests from a plurality of communication devices communicating via said shared medium;
- a second request processor that receives indicators of virtual bandwidth requests from a policy agent;
- and,
- a scheduler that allocates a communication resource on said shared medium based on said indicators of bandwidth requests and said indicators of virtual bandwidth requests.
