Abstract
Disclosed methods include a resource manager in a multiple node network receiving a demand for additional bandwidth, from a terminal, and the resource manager having updated information on the state of the mobile node network and, using that the state information, performing test allocation of the requested bandwidth to the requesting terminal. Disclosed methods include determining whether previous commitments of service can be met with the test allocation in place. Associated with a positive result, an allocation is sent to the terminal.

21. A user terminal apparatus for profile based ingress management, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; store in the memory an ingress bandwidth profile, the ingress bandwidth profile including an ingress bandwidth profile parameter, receive a packet having an indication of a priority level, determine whether the packet is within the ingress bandwidth profile, and based at least in part on a result of the determining whether the packet is within the ingress bandwidth profile being that the packet is within the ingress bandwidth profile, to; enqueue the packet in a priority queue, in accordance with the priority level, determine whether a bandwidth allocation update is required and, based at least in part on a result of the determining whether the bandwidth allocation update is required, to; schedule the packet for a transmission, and transmit the packet, based at least in part on the schedule. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method for profile based user terminal management of ingress, comprising:
-
receiving a packet having an indication of a priority level; and determining whether the packet is within an ingress bandwidth profile, and based at least in part on a result of the determining whether the packet is within the ingress bandwidth profile being that the packet is within the ingress bandwidth profile; enqueuing the packet in a priority queue, in accordance with the priority level, determining whether a bandwidth allocation update is required and, based at least in part on a result of the determining whether the bandwidth allocation update is required; scheduling the packet for a transmission, and transmitting the packet, based at least in part on the schedule. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
