CONTROLLING PACKET DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES FROM A SPREAD SPECTRUM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Method and system for controlling packet data from multiple types of data sources flowing into a multiuser channel. Provided is a queue for incoming data, a means for tracking a backlog of data in the queue, and a means for limiting data flow from the data sources. Packet data intended for the multiuser channel is selectively rerouted to another channel based on in part the tracked backlog. Where the queue is a plurality of queues the size of each individual queue may be decreased as the tracked backlog increases. Data packet latency and duplication is minimized.
