ABSTRACT:
A system (800), device (820), and method (600, 700) for aggregating MAC users in a shared medium network improve MAC performance and minimize complexity of a headend scheduler by aggregating a number of MAC Users into an Aggregate MAC User. The Aggregate MAC User acts as a proxy for its Constituent MAC Users by contending for network resources on behalf of the Constituent MAC Users and allocating network resources to the Constituent MAC Users as needed.
