Abstract: A bandwidth manager manages respective bandwidths for base stations in a communication network. The base stations are controlled by an access controller which dynamically allocates communication resources for the base stations. Each of the base stations has a respective allocated bandwidth. The bandwidth manager includes a signaling monitor and a bandwidth allocator. The signaling monitor monitors signaling between the access controller and at least one of the base stations so as to predict upcoming changes to a demand for communication resources for at least one monitored base station. The bandwidth allocator updates the respective allocated bandwidths in accordance with the predicted upcoming changes.
