Scheduling with blind signaling
First Claim
1. A scheduling device for scheduling data transmission over a plurality of channels in a data network, said device comprising monitoring means for monitoring utilization of an allocated maximum channel capacity in a received data stream of at least one of said plurality of channels;
- and scheduling means for controlling allocation of said maximum channel capacity to said at least one of said plurality of channels in response to said monitoring means.

Abstract
A scheduling method and device for scheduling data transmission, usually over a plurality of channels in a data network, wherein a utilization of an allocated maximum channel capacity in a received data stream of at least one of the plurality of channels is typically monitored, and future allocation of the maximum channel capacity is then normally controlled in response to the monitoring result. Thereby, data transmissions may be scheduled according to their often near instantaneous transmission capacity requirements, usually without requiring any explicit uplink signaling.
