Abstract
A processing system ( ) defines ( ) a plurality of bins ( ) within a sliding time window, each bin for storing a total transmit duration of a predetermined number of frames assigned to each bin. The processing system then determines ( ) a mean transmit duration per frame for a next one of the plurality of bins to be processed. The processing system subtracts ( ) the mean transmit duration per frame from the total transmit duration of the one of the plurality of bins, when a next frame begins to be processed; and calculates ( ) a transmit duty cycle for the sliding time window, the transmit duty cycle calculated as if a requested transmit duration for the next frame were to be allowed. The processing system also delays ( ) a transmission of the next frame, when the transmit duty cycle is greater than a maximum allowable transmit duty cycle.
