Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02063798A1] A dynamic bandwidth allocation system and method for dynamically sharing a communication bandwidth. The system provides a scheduler (310) that enables the method to process bandwith information in a communication system (300). The communication system (300) preferably includes one or more communication arrays, or hubs (320), which are centrally located to provide an airlink between a plurality of physically separated processor-based systems or remote units RUs(330 a-f), or other sources of communication such as voice communication, utilizing a communication device, or node. Each hub (320) and RU (330) includes one or more controllers (340, 350). The scheduler (310) utilizes the controllers (340, 350) to track and process bandwidth information for communicating between the one or more hubs (320) and the plurality of RUs (330 a-f). Each RU (330) generally services a plurality of bursty data traffic sources. The scheduler (310) tracks an airlink communication traffic in both downlink and/or uplink directions to accurately determine airlink bandwidth requests for the plurality of RUs (330 a-f).
