ABSTRACT:
In a bandwidth allocation method and/or apparatus for adaptively allocating radio channels in a mobile communication system, a token bucket is periodically filled with an amount of tokens that corresponds to a requested amount of bandwidth, and a bandwidth is allocated in accordance with the amount of tokens in the token bucket. In a further bandwidth allocation method and/or apparatus for adaptively allocating radio channels in a mobile communication system, a packet classification module classifies received packets on the basis of one of an Internet Protocol address, a port, and an upper layer protocol, a packet scheduler module receives the classified packet from a buffer module for transmission to a mobile station, and a bandwidth allocation module forms the buffer module for bandwidth allocation and processes traffic services by inter-working with the packet scheduler module when the bandwidth allocation is requested.
