Abstract: A method and apparatus for requesting bandwidth in a subscriber station is disclosed. The method dynamically changes the size of the bandwidth request based on the prediction of the number of packets needed to be transmitted. The average delay experienced by packets in a queue is measured, and this information is then used to change the coefficient of a prediction equation. When the experienced average delay is below the agreed upon QoS latency parameter or delay target, the method reduces the size of the bandwidth requests by making the prediction equation more conservative. On the other hand, when the experienced delay is above the agreed upon latency, the algorithm will make the prediction equation more aggressive, increasing the bandwidth requests and reducing the latency for future packets. By modifying the prediction equation based on the measured delay, the method is able to select the optimal point for achieving time delay requirements while preserving air-link resources.

Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter system is provided that controls a phase of an output signal produced by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A digital input signal and a phase control signal are each applied to the DAC. The DAC then produces an analog output signal based on the input signal and the phase control signal, wherein the analog signal comprises an output with a frequency and a phase component. The DAC further produces a phase adjustment signal that is conveyed to an auxiliary circuit that determines a phase difference between a reference signal and the phase adjustment signal and generates the phase control signal based on the phase difference, wherein a phase of the analog output signal is adjusted based on the phase control signal. By controlling the phase of an analog output signal of a DAC, DAC-to-DAC skew may be minimized.
