System for scalable transmission of content in a data network. A method is provided for transmitting a plurality of content clips. The method includes determining QoS factors for the content clips, and grouping the content clips into groups based on the determined QoS factors. The method also includes coding the content clips in the groups to form coded content clips, interleaving the coded content clips to create a clip stream, and transmitting the clip stream.

A distributed flow control system and method for GPRS networks to control and regulate data flow between multiple sources and a single destination within a GPRS network. The present system and method ensures the departing traffic from all of the sources conforms to the peak and average rate requirements that have been set forth by the BSS/PCU. A leaky bucket flow control mechanism is used at each respective one of the multiple sources for controlling flow of data from each respective source to the single destination. A maximum bucket size of a leaky bucket and a bucket leak rate are defined for each leaky bucket flow control mechanism. A multiplier (L) is estimated and determined for each respective source based on recent data arrival behaviors of the multiple sources. When a frame of the data is sent from the respective source to the single destination, a number of bytes equal to the size of the transmitted frame times the multiplier L is added to the leaky bucket.

A wireless access architecture, having redistributed wireless access functions, comprises a plurality of cell sites connected to a main switching point. The cell sites communicate with cellular users within their respective cell site areas and comprise a communication segment for exchanging communication signals with the cellular users. The main switching point controls the communication with the cellular users and the communication segment and includes a processing segment for processing the communication signals from the cell sites. The processing segment includes a segment for modulating and demodulating the communication signals, and a segment for bit stream processing the communication signals.
