PRIORITIZATION AND FLOW CONTROL OF DATA PACKETS FOR A SPREADSPECTRUM MULTIUSER CHANNEL

摘要

Packet data from a plurality of sources is received at a controller associat ed with the multiuser channel. Each packet of the packet data is prioritized based on in part the reroutability of a class of data types. Each packet is scheduled for transmission over the multiuser channel based on in part the prioritization. A backlog of packet data queued is tracked for transfer over the multiuser channel. Based on in part the tracked queue, the flow of data from each data source is limited.
