Broadband wireless system and network architecture providing broadband/narrowband service with optimal static and dynamic bandwidth/channel allocation

In a communication network for providing broadband and narrowband services with a wireless connection between the network and end users;

• a method of allocating frequency spectrum to satisfy service bandwidth requirements of a plurality of services;
• comprising the steps of:
• periodically setting a re-allocation time;
• static allocating of channels to meet service demand on a known predetermined allocation basis supported by time and date records at a periodic reallocation time to meet anticipated demand at that time and date;
• dynamic allocating of channels to meet service demand on immediate service requests in real time by determining an idle capacity of channels, measuring a number of channels assigned to incumbent service classes, determining if a number of idle channels exceeds the channels assigned to incumbent service classes by a block number, determining channels to be assigned to a different service class;
• and
• the dynamic allocating having precedence over the static allocating.

In a communication network for providing broadband and narrowband services with a wireless connection between the network and end users;

• a method of allocating frequency spectrum in both spread spectrum and TDM transmissions to satisfy service bandwidth requirements in providing end users with a plurality of services;
• comprising the steps of:
• periodically setting a re-allocation time;
• statically allocating channels to meet service demand on a known predetermined allocation basis supported by time and date records at the reallocation time;
• dynamically allocating channels to meet service demand on immediate service requests in real time;
• statically and dynamically allocating channels by partitioning of the available frequency spectrum, and
• the dynamic allocating having precedence over the static allocating.

A communication network for providing broadband and narrowband services with a wireless connection between the network and end users, comprising:

• an asynchronous transport mode network and a synchronous transport mode network;
• a service node connected to the asynchronous transport mode network and the synchronous transport mode network and an access node which is in turn connected to a microport including an antenna for radiating radio signals to a receiving antenna of an end user;
• a channel allocation server, connected to the service node, for estimating blocking probabilities across service chases and for identifying channels to be moved from one service class to another to accommodate service demands;
• communication circuitry for communicating and for providing communication network routing control;
• wherein the communication network apportions communication channels and conduits to specific communication services;
• and wherein the service node measures channel occupancy of the channels controlled by the communication system and assigns network trunks to operate as access trunks;
• the access node combining and splitting channels to conform with the mapping of services onto channels;
• the microport having radiant apparatus to transmit and receive signals over air media and associating wired channels of the networks to a RF channel;
• and
• the access port connecting received wireless signals to wired and wireless equipment of the end user and transmitting wireless signals from the end user to the microport.
