METHOD FOR ALLOCATING FRACTIONAL BANDWIDTH IN A FIXED-FRAME COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for allocating fractional bandwidth in a fixed-frame communication system is described. The method includes calculating the integral cells per frame required at a connection (610), calculating the fractional cells per second required at the connection, (620), setting a counter (640), adding the fractional cells per second to the counter (650), determining if the counter is above a preset limit (660), allocating an additional cell when the counter exceeds the preset limit (670), and reducing the counter a predetermined amount to reflect allocating the cell (680).
