ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a dynamic resource allocation technique for multiple users of a channel that employs variable coding and associated redundancy to provide a maximum data rate for various demand conditions while simultaneously providing a maximal margin that is matched to the current demand condition. For such technique, each first data rate input signal is synchronized to a second higher data rate, the synchronized signals are then separately demultiplexed for propagation along separate paths and encoded in a separate variable rate coder (VRC). The output from each VRC is stored in a separate bus interface which contends for a common bus when full. A rate controller maintains the activity on the common bus at a minimum level by either monitoring (1) the activity on the bus, (2) the rate the bus interfaces are filling up, or (3) both (1) and (2) above, and in response thereto to transmit control signal to the VRCs to appropriately vary the codes and redundancy used.
