Abstract:
1. A method for determining allocation of resources in a communication system comprising at least two entities, the resources being allocated for transmitting, receiving, or forwarding information, the information being transmitted as flows, wherein the system allocates resources based upon at least one parameter comprising, class of service, delay requirement, arrival rate requirement and service rate requirement of a current flow request which parameters are stored, and wherein, during a call or connection between the at least two entities, the system monitors at least one of the parameters for updating the service rate allocated to meet a Quality of Service QoS requirement of the current flow request in accordance with a result of the monitoring, the updated service rate being allocated to a new flow request of a same type, and wherein a learning process is provided for adjusting a required service rate of applications and allocating a computed service rate for new flow requests, wherein, based upon a current allocation, the system learns which resources should have been allocated to be able to meet a promised QoS requirement of the current flow request.
