1. A method for managing transmission of data over a MoCA network, the method comprising:
- monitoring data transmission requirements at a node on the network;
generating a plurality of statistics of the data transmission requirements;
predicting transmission requirements from the statistics; and
reserving, in view of the predicted transmission requirements, transmission opportunities for data that has not yet arrived at the node.

Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing reservation request overhead in a communications network in which devices are connected via a coax network are provided. A method for managing transmission of data over a MoCA network according to the invention may include monitoring data transmission requirements at a node on the network; generating statistics of the data transmission requirements; predicting transmission requirements from the statistics; and reserving future transmission opportunities in view of the predicted transmission requirements.
