Bandwidth allocation for broadband multichannel systems

The authors examine an optimal bandwidth allocation scheme for multichannel switching systems to switch trunk groups. This multichannel switching system features a simple architecture, high throughput, high channel utilization, and other properties such as preserving packet sequence, being robust to unbalanced input traffic loads, providing fair access to network transmission resources, and fast packet processing via a pipeline structure. Numerical results show that the multichannel system can achieve a throughput of 91% per channel for a trunk group of 32 channels while also providing very low average cell delay performance in the presence of correlated inputs.<<ETX>>
