Abstract
A system and method for Internet Protocol (IP) flow classification group IP flows in a packet-centric wireless point to multi-point telecommunications system is disclosed. The method comprises analyzing an IP flow in a packet-centric manner, classifying the IP flow, scheduling the IP flow for transmission over a shared wireless bandwidth between a wireless base station and at least one subscriber customer premises equipment (CPE) station, allocating the shared wireless bandwidth to a communication of the IP flow between the wireless base station and a subscriber CPE station so as to optimize end-user quality of service (QoS) associated with the IP flow.
Claims146
A method for IP flow classification grouping IP flows in a packet-centric wireless point to multi-point telecommunications system, said method comprising:
- analyzing an Internet Protocol (IP) flow in a packet-centric manner;
- classifying said IP flow;
- and
- scheduling said IP flow for transmission over a shared wireless bandwidth between a wireless base station and at least one subscriber customer premises equipment (CPE) station, including
- allocating said shared wireless bandwidth to communication of said IP flow between said wireless base station and a subscriber CPE station, so as to optimize end-user quality of service (QoS) associated with said IP flow.
A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium for IP flow classification grouping IP flows in a packet-centric wireless point to multi-point telecommunications system, the computer program product comprising:
- means for enabling a processor to analyze an Internet Protocol (IP) flow in a packet-centric manner;
- means for enabling the processor to classify said IP flow;
- and
- means for enabling the processor to schedule said IP flow for transmission over a shared wireless bandwidth between a wireless base station and at least one subscriber customer premises equipment (CPE) station, including
- means for enabling the processor to allocate said shared wireless bandwidth to communication of said IP flow between said wireless base station and a subscriber CPE station, so as to optimize end-user quality of service (QoS) associated with said IP flow.
A method for scheduling packets comprising:
- classifying a plurality of packets according to end-user quality of service (QoS) requirements of said plurality of packets;
- and
- scheduling said plurality of packets for communication in at least one of an upstream direction and a downstream direction over a shared wireless bandwidth according to a scheduling algorithm.
