METHOD OF ACTIVE DYNAMIC RESOURCE ASSIGNMENT IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A method of adaptive resource allocation in transmitting data is provided. In particular, the method of the present invention is applicable to scheduling bandwidths using a modified and dynamic weighted round robin process. The method includes the steps of allocating a resource to each of a plurality of data transmitting active connections, the plurality of active connections belonging to more than one class of service. Then the method determines a lender class of service for each active connection from which resources may be reallocated to the active connection, and periodically comparing the resource usage of an active connection to upper and lower thresholds. Borrowing action for resources and returning action of borrowed resources are carried out in response to the current usage exceeding the upper threshold or less than the lower threshold, respectively.
