SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING LATENCY AND RESERVATION REQUEST OVERHEAD IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for reducing reservation request overhead in a communications network in which devices are connected via a coax network are provided. A method for managing transmission of data over a MoCA network according to the invention may include monitoring data transmission requirements at a node on the network; generating statistics of the data transmission requirements; predicting transmission requirements from the statistics; and reserving future transmission opportunities in view of the predicted transmission requirements.
