Resource allocation in a circuit switched network
First Claim
1. A method for allocating resources in a circuit switched data network, comprising:
- receiving a request for a resource from a device coupled to the circuit switched data network;
granting the resource to the requesting device if the resource is available, otherwise;
examining a first factor corresponding to an instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted by the requesting device;
examining a second factor corresponding to a rate of change in the instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted by the requesting device;
examining a third factor corresponding to a time of utilization of the resource by the requesting device;
granting the resource to the requesting device based on the examination of the first, second and third factors.

Abstract
Allocating resources in a circuit switched data network, comprising receiving a request for a resource from a device coupled to the circuit switched data network and granting the resource to the requesting device if the resource is available. If the resource is not available, then examining the instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted by the requesting device; the rate of change in the instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted by the requesting device; and the time of utilization of the resource by the requesting device, and granting the resource to the requesting device based on the examination of the three factors.

24. A method for allocating a communications channel in a circuit switched data network, comprising:
-
receiving a request at a communications device coupled to the circuit switched data network to allocate the communications channel to transmit data to a remote communications device capable of being coupled to the circuit switched data network;
granting the request if the communications channel is available, otherwise;
examining a first factor corresponding to an instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted to the remote communications device;
examining a second factor corresponding to a rate of change in the instantaneous quantity of data to be transmitted to the remote communications device;
examining a third factor corresponding to a time of utilization of the communications channel by the remote communications device;
allocating the communications channel between the communications device and the remote communications device based on the examination of the first, second and third factors. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
