Abstract
Methods (,), an access controller (,), and a communication system (,) for optimizing utilization of a wireless communication link in a limited bandwidth communication system or network are provided. Statistical multiplexing is achieved by partitioning a wireless communication link (,) into multiple communication channels (,) and assigning communication sources (,) to communicate information over an air interface for a predetermined time interval, where the number of communication sources (,) assigned to the communication channels (,) during a particular time interval exceeds the number of available communication channels (,). The methods (,), access controller (,), and communication system (,) disclosed also allow a system operator to provide varying levels of quality of service (QoS) guarantees in a communication system or network using statistical multiplexing by designating varying levels of QoS among the communication channels (,).
