Abstract

See full text

A novel method for dynamic load management of random access channels (also known as Aloha channels) in shared communications systems, such as satellite (4), cable, and wireless communications networks is provided. The method provides algorithms and procedures to accurately estimate traffic load offered by multiple distributed terminals (1a, 1b, . . . 1n) into the channel (2). And also provides for regulating traffic so that the channel (2) is not overloaded. The traffic load management algorithms can be done at a central site, such as a Network Control Center (3) or a cable head-end. Alternatively, traffic load management can be done in a distributed manner by all terminals. Traffic regulation is done in a fair manner across all terminals. The algorithms are designed for efficient implementation in software and/or hardware.
