摘要

A transmission controller (40) comprises a transmission request processor (44); a transmission reservation grantor (46); and, a transmission monitor (48). The transmission request processor (44) is configured to receive a request for a transmission reservation emanating from a client application executed at a wireless terminal (30). The transmission reservation grantor (46) is configured to use transmission rules stored for the wireless terminal (30) to make a determination whether to grant a transmission reservation responsive to the request for the transmission reservation. The transmission monitor (48) is configured (1) to perform a monitoring of the transmission operation for compliance with the transmission rules after granting the request for the transmission reservation and during a remainder of the transmission operation toward the wireless terminal associated with the transmission reservation and (2) to control bandwidth used by at least a portion of the remainder of the transmission operation in accordance with the monitoring.
