Abstract
A wireless local loop system manages radio data transmission capacity and network resources shared by a plurality of subscriber stations by considering the type of connections desired to be created to the subscriber stations and the radio data transmission capacity, and in some cases QoS parameters, and network resources required for those connections. The subscriber stations include data and telephony ports and can include a subscriber utilization client (SUC) to assist in the management process. The SUC in each subscriber station communicates with a network utilization manager (NUM) to request network resources from the base station. The NUM determines the requirements, in data transmission capacity and/or QoS levels, for the desired connection and considers the utilization of the network resources at the base station, or sector of the base station, in determining whether to establish the desired connection. The NUM can consider the required level and a desired level of data transmission capacity and/or QoS levels and allocate resources for the connection according to either level, or therebetween. The SUC and NUM can prioritize the establishment of connections on an appropriate basis, including the type of connection, the parties to the connection, the revenue potential of the connection and the port for the connection at the subscriber station, etc.

150. A wireless local loop system comprising:
-
a network utilization manager;
a base station including an antenna, a radio, a modem, and a communication system; and
a plurality of subscriber stations, each including an antenna, a radio unit, and a modem operable to communicate with the base station, at least two subscriber communications ports, and a subscriber utilization client, wherein the network utilization manager in response to requests from subscriber utilization clients and available capacity in the wireless local loop system assigns capacity in the wireless local loop system to subscriber communications ports and establishes connections between the base station and subscriber communications ports, wherein at least one subscriber utilization client includes a prioritization scheme and that subscriber utilization client prioritizes its requests for connections among the subscriber communications ports of its associated subscriber station using that prioritization scheme, and wherein the prioritization scheme is downloaded in the form of a prioritization table to the subscriber utilization client from the base station. - View Dependent Claims (151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174)

194. A subscriber station for a wireless local loop that includes a base station that manages allocation of data transmission capacity in the wireless local loop, comprising:
-
a radio operably connected between a modem and an antenna; and
a processor operably connected between the modem and at least two communications ports, wherein the processor is configured to determine and communicate to the base station, via the radio, data transmission capacity requirements and at least one quality of service requirement for a desired connection of at least one of its communication ports to the base station, thereby enabling the base station to evaluate those requirements before authorizing the desired connection. - View Dependent Claims (195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205)
