METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTI-USER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for dynamically controlling a high speed wireless communication system to optimize utilization of system resources and thereby increase system throughput. The invention operates to determine an allocation of wireless transmission resources to each user application serve d by the wireless system in a manner to optimize transmission resources while meeting required QoS criteria for they served user application. After all user applications have been provided a transmission resource allocation in this manner, the total transmission resources so allocated are determined and compared with a ceili ng transmission resource level for the wireless system. A portion of the difference between the ceiling and currently allocated transmission resource levels is then made available, according to the invention, to the served user applications in proportion to the initial allocation provided each user application.
