  • Transmission system, method and apparatus for scheduling transmission links and determining system stability based on dynamic characteristics of a transmission medium
    Patent number: 6314084
    Abstract: A transmission system models changing characteristics of a transmission medium in which it operates and schedules transmission accordingly. For any two transmissions that are desired to be made on the same resource, the system determines whether the transmissions may be made simultaneously without causing interference given a current state of the transmission medium. If the transmissions may be made without causing interference, they are. If not, one transmission is sent in favor over another as determined by a predetermined scheduling criterion. The system modulates a rate at which new data is admitted to the system. The system calculates an arrival rate that is likely to be (but is not necessarily) stable and modulates the actual arrival rate accordingly.
