ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for allocating bandwidth and performing soft handoffs in multi-hop cellular communication networks are disclosed. For example, a method for allocating bandwidth is disclosed, which includes the steps of a first communication device transmitting a first bandwidth allocation request, responsive to receipt of the first bandwidth allocation request, a second communication device transmitting a first bandwidth allocation value, responsive to receipt of the first bandwidth allocation request, a third communication device transmitting a second bandwidth allocation value, the first communication device comparing the first bandwidth allocation value with the second bandwidth allocation value, a fourth communication device transmitting a third bandwidth allocation request, and responsive to receipt of the third bandwidth allocation request and the comparing step, the first communication device transmitting a third bandwidth allocation value, the third bandwidth allocation value including at least one of the first bandwidth allocation value and the second allocation value.
