Abstract
A system and method of managing the bandwidth of transmitted communications in a wireless network where a data packet (108) is received. The data packet (108) comprises a protocol identifier (110). At least one primary pattern identifier (110) is stored in a memory (103). The protocol identifier (110) is compared (204, 206) to the at least one primary pattern identifier and a data packet type is determined (210) based at least in part upon the comparing. A resource allocation scheme is selected from amongst a plurality of resource allocation schemes for application to a wireless network based at least in part upon the data packet type.
Claims17
A method of managing bandwidth of transmitted communications in a wireless network comprising:
- receiving a data packet, the data packet comprising a protocol identifier;
- comparing the protocol identifier to at least one primary pattern identifier and to at least one secondary pattern when the profile identifier matches the at least one primary pattern identifier;
- determining a data packet type based at least in part upon the comparing;
- and
- selecting a resource allocation scheme from amongst a plurality of resource allocation schemes for application to a wireless network based at least in part upon the data packet type and wherein selecting a resource allocation scheme includes determining a scheduler algorithm and a data rate.
A scheduling device for facilitating efficient communications in a wireless network comprising:
- a receiver having an input that receives a data packet, the data packet comprising a protocol identifier;
- a memory having at least one primary pattern identifier and at least one secondary pattern stored therein;
- a controller coupled to the input of the receiver and the memory, the controller programmed to compare the protocol identifier with the at least one primary pattern stored in the memory, the controller further programmed to determine a data packet type based at least in part upon whether the protocol identifier sufficiently matches the at least one stored primary pattern identifier and the at least one secondary pattern and, responsively, selecting a resource allocation scheme wherein the resource allocation scheme comprises a scheduling algorithm, number of resources, and data rate.
