Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for performing dynamic load balancing across transmission channels in a communications system, for loads of multiple priorities for a plurality of terminals are provided. Priority levels for a plurality of traffic flows from the plurality of terminals are determined, and the traffic flows are assigned to a plurality of transmission channels to load balance the traffic flows based on the determined priority levels. The load balancing includes generating a load vector for each of the transmission channels, and determining a load balancing target for the load vectors. The load balancing further includes determining a centroid point for the generated load vectors, wherein the centroid point is the load balancing target, and iteratively converging to the centroid point as the load balancing target by determining cancellation pairs for the load vectors, to balance loads of multiple priorities.
