Abstract

A credit bandwidth allocator system for allocating portions of an available effective communication bandwidth among a plurality of radio connections in a radio system has a credit counter for counting a number of data units received by a radio connection associated therewith, one credit counter means being associated with each radio connection, and a store for data appertaining to such radio connections. A timer provides clock signals of a pre-determined duration, and a central controller, responsive to data in the store and to the clock signals, determines a temporal measure of relative performance for said radio connections dependent upon the count state of the credit counters and the pre-determined duration of the clock signals. The available effective bandwidth is allocated between the said radio connections based on such relative performance.
