A packet arrival prediction mechanism predicts when a time-critical packet is expected to arrive. When transmission of a waiting lower-priority packet might cause a substantial delay in the expected time-critical packet's transmission, the lower-priority packet is parked until it can be transmitted without interfering with a time-critical packet.Field of SearchTASI (Time Assignment Speech Interpolation)With priority resolution Using time slots Inserted in gaps in main information Assigning period of time for information to be transmitted (e.g., scheduling) Based on bandwidth allocation (e.g., Weighted Round Robin) Based on priority Based on service category (e.g., CBR, VBR, UBR, or ABR) Combined voice and data transmission Data over voice Data under voice Store and forward Particular storing and queuing arrangement | |
