System and method of managing digital data transmission
First Claim
1. A method of managing data transmission, comprising:
- measuring a first number of payload bits communicated over a bearer during a first time period;
dividing the first number of measured payload bits by a length of the first time period to yield a short term average bit rate for the first time period;
adding a bit rate margin to the short term average bit rate to yield a total bearer bit rate for the first time period; and
selectively provisioning a bearer bit rate based on the total bearer bit rate for the first time period.

Abstract
A method of managing data transmission is provided and includes measuring a first number of payload bits communicated over a bearer during a first time period. The first number of measured payload bits is divided by a length of the first time period to yield a short term average bit rate for the first time period. Also, a bit rate margin is added to the short term average bit rate for to yield a total bearer bit rate for the first time period. Further, a bearer bit rate can be selectively provisioned based on the total bearer bit rate for the first time period. The bearer bit rate can be provisioned based on whether the bearer is a fixed bearer or an adaptive bearer.

16. A method of executing a rate change for a bearer, comprising:
-
determining a new bearer bit rate for the bearer;
allocating a number of payload bits in a frame to be transmitted to the bearer;
sending a transmission configuration message that indicates the new bearer bit rate to a receiving device; and
determining a new line bit rate based on the new bearer bit rate. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of managing data transmission, comprising:
-
monitoring an error rate in a bearer in the direction of data transmission for a first time period;
determining whether the error rate is greater than a threshold; and
reducing a bit rate of the bearer a predetermined amount, after determining that the error rate is greater than the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
