METHOD, MANAGING ENTITY, AGENT ENTITY FOR CONSISTENT BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION

摘要

A method for a consistent allocation of bandwidth shares for non-guaranteed bit rate bearers on air interfaces and in a mobile backhaul network section of a packet based mobile service network is provided, wherein the method comprises: estimating an overall transport bandwidth available for non- guaranteed bit rate bearers in the mobile backhaul network; estimating a fair share of the overall transport bandwidth for each non-guaranteed bit rate bearer and its respective traffic rate; and in case of a potential congestion throttling the respective traffic rate of a non-GBR bearer to its respective fair share transport bandwidth.
