Abstract

See full text

A method, system, and computer-readable code with which a scheduling system can be implemented that allows a sender and a receiver to change priorities of queued messages. A technique is also defined for providing a receiver with an advance notice of intended message priority, enabling the receiver to request a priority change before transmission begins. These techniques provide the flexibility to respond to changes in dynamic, volatile network environments, as well as changes in user's wishes or requirements. A ranking technique is defined, whereby requests to change priority may be accepted or denied through a ranking algorithm that resolves potential conflicts in desired transmission priority using proposals exchanged by the parties (e.g. during connection establishment).
