ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the invention provide a method and system for managing or coordinating data transmission in a Local Area Network (LAN) such that Quality of Service (QoS) concerns are met. A LAN resource manager (LRM) is provided for managing the LAN resources by providing solutions for providing users with several levels of QoS. Once the LRM admits a user at a certain QoS level, the level is assured within the LAN for as long as the user is in the LAN. A user may submit a request to transmit data to the LRM. The LRM may determine if time allocation is possible and allocate the time slots for data transmission. The LRM may send time slot allocation information to an Access Server in a LAN, which may inform the user of the time slot allocation and prepare a queue according to the slot allocation information.
