Abstract:
Micro-schedulers control bandwidth allocation for clients, each client subscribing to a respective predefined portion of bandwidth of an outgoing communication link. A macro-scheduler controls the micro-schedulers, by allocating the respective subscribed portion of bandwidth associated with each respective client that is active, by a predefined first deadline, with residual bandwidth that is unused by the respective clients being shared proportionately among respective active clients by a predefined second deadline, while minimizing coordination among micro-schedulers by the macro-scheduler periodically adjusting respective bandwidth allocations to each micro-scheduler.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein periodically adjusting respective bandwidth allocations includes:\n at a beginning of an additional period, increasing a bandwidth allocation to one of the clients to an amount less than a corresponding predefined portion of the client; and after the additional period,\n determining whether a bit rate of outgoing transmission of the client has increased over the first subsequent period; and \n in response to determining that the bit rate of outgoing transmission of the client has increased over the additional period, increasing the bandwidth allocation to the client to another amount less than the corresponding predefined portion of the client.
