Abstract

A method of resource allocation for a service control point (SCP) in an advanced intelligent network. The method dynamically assigns resource time to various entities using the SCP, based upon the resource time needs of each entity as compared to the resource time needs of each other entity and the total processing capacity of the SCP. Initially, a SCP resource time is assigned to each entity to be monitored. The resource time of the monitored entities is monitored over a chosen observation interval. After the completion of the observation interval, any unutilized resource time from any of the monitored entities is assigned to other monitored entities which have used more than their assigned resource time during the previous observation interval. It is also determined whether a SCP is operating at full capacity during a given observation interval. If so, the process limits the use of resource time with the SCP of any monitored entities using resource time in an observation interval greater than that initially assigned to it.
