Patent Images
1. A method of effective bandwidth estimation, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first traffic pattern of a first traffic source from the first traffic source;
setting a first effective bandwidth between a mean data rate of the first traffic source and a peak data rate of the first traffic source;
determining a first real time outage rate of the first traffic source in accordance with the first traffic pattern of the first traffic source and the first effective bandwidth; and
calculating a multiplexing gain comprising comparing the first effective bandwidth, a second effective bandwidth of a second traffic source, and a third effective bandwidth of a traffic mix, wherein the traffic mix comprises traffic from the first traffic source and traffic from the second traffic source.

27. A gateway comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to obtain a traffic pattern of a first traffic source from the first traffic source, set a first effective bandwidth between a mean data rate of the first traffic source and a peak data rate of the first traffic source, determine a real time outage rate of the first traffic source in accordance with the traffic pattern of the first traffic source and the first effective bandwidth, and calculate a multiplexing gain comprising comparing the first effective bandwidth, a second effective bandwidth of a second traffic source, and a third effective bandwidth of a traffic mix, wherein the traffic mix comprises traffic from the first traffic source and traffic from the second traffic source.
