1. A method of allocating bandwidth of a wireless link in a backhaul connection in a communication system, the method comprising:
- allocating a first bandwidth amount of backhaul wireless link bandwidth to WiMax services and a second bandwidth amount of the backhaul wireless link bandwidth to other communication services;
receiving a trigger signaling that at least one condition of the communication system has changed; and
adjusting the first bandwidth amount and the second bandwidth amount in response to the trigger.

5. A method of allocating bandwidth of a wireless link in a backhaul connection in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
allocating a first bandwidth amount of wireless link bandwidth to WiMax services and a second bandwidth amount of the wireless link bandwidth to other communication services; receiving a trigger signaling that at least one condition of the communication system has changed; adjusting the first bandwidth amount and the second bandwidth amount in response to the trigger; monitoring the at least one condition of the communication system, the at least one condition being at least one of backhaul usage, backhaul congestion, a first unused amount of the first bandwidth amount, a second unused amount of the second bandwidth amount, and time; and generating the trigger based on the at least one monitored condition reaching an associated threshold. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A method of allocating bandwidth of a wireless link in a backhaul connection in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
allocating a first bandwidth amount of wireless link bandwidth to WiMax services and a second bandwidth amount of the wireless link bandwidth to other communication services; receiving a trigger signaling that at least one condition of the communication system has changed; adjusting the first bandwidth amount and the second bandwidth amount in response to the trigger; monitoring a first unused amount of the first bandwidth amount and a second unused amount of the second bandwidth amount; and generating the trigger if the first unused amount exceeds a first threshold amount and the second bandwidth amount falls below a second threshold amount, wherein the adjusting step increases the first bandwidth amount and decreases the second bandwidth amount in response to the trigger.

9. A method of allocating bandwidth of a wireless link in a backhaul connection in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
allocating a first bandwidth amount of wireless link bandwidth to WiMax services and a second bandwidth amount of the wireless link bandwidth to other communication services; receiving a trigger signaling that at least one condition of the communication system has changed; adjusting the first bandwidth amount and the second bandwidth amount in response to the trigger; monitoring a first unused amount of the first bandwidth amount and a second unused amount of the second bandwidth amount; and generating the trigger if the first unused amount falls below a first threshold amount and the second bandwidth amount exceeds a second threshold amount, wherein the adjusting step increases the second bandwidth amount and decreases the first bandwidth amount in response to the trigger.
