Abstract

Det hybride MAC system (10) til styring av medium tilgang kan konfigureres etter den type kommunikasjon som er nødvendig for å støtte en ønsket anvendelse eller tjeneste. MAC systemet (10) analyserer tjenester det er anmodet om fra en settopp terminal (16) eller en nettverkstyrende klient og bestemmer den beste MAC komponent for overføring av signaler l oppstrøms- retningen basert på de ressurser som kreves for tjenesten og de tilgjengelige nettverkressurser. En del av oppstrømskanalens spektrum er tildelt hver av MAC komponentene: 1) POP; 2) tildelt statisk TDMA; 3) tildelt dynamisk flertakts TDMA; og 4) direkte lukereservering - dynamisk luketildeling TDMA. Avhengig av kommunikasjonskravene for den tjeneste som ønskes vil det konf igurerbare MAC system 10 velge den MAC komponent som passer best til å støtte tjenesten. En frekvensfølsom sender blir så avstemt på den kanal som er blitt forhåndstildelt for den eller de valgte MAC komponenter (10). Etterhvert som kommunikasjonstrafikk varierer med tiden, vil systemet omtildele deler av oppstrømskanalens spektrum blant de forskjellige MAC komponenter (10) og kan også omfigurere en bestemt MAC komponent.
