Abstract
An efficient return channel spectrum utilization technique for communication systems supporting adaptive spread spectrum. Requests for bandwidth allocation using a spread factor are analyzed to determine if there are any channels capable of supporting the spread factor. The request is acknowledged if at least one channel is capable of supporting the request. Adjacent channels required to accommodate the requested spread factor are reserved, and additional bandwidth requests are allocated on non-reserved channels.
