  • Dynamic negotiation of resources for user equipment in wireless communications system
    Patent number: 6434380
    Abstract: A telecommunications system (18) has a capacity management system (100) which provides a user equipment unit agent (150) for each wireless user equipment unit (20) with which a connection is to be established. The user equipment agent negotiates resources for the prospective connection to be established with its corresponding user equipment unit. In the negotiation, the user equipment agent determines a number of purchase units expendable by the user equipment unit for the negotiation, and issues a resource request to begin the negotiation. Each resource has a resource unit price at which a unit of the resource is sold. In response to the resource request issued by the user equipment agent, connection resources are allocated to the user equipment unit in accordance with what the number of purchase units expendable by the user equipment unit can afford. The resource unit price for the resources is dynamically adjusted, e.g., in accordance with load on the telecommunication system.
