Abstract
A controllerfor a packet radio networkincludes a processorthat, in turn, includes a plurality of processor resourcesA–D for processing a plurality of packet classes. Each packet class has a different delay sensitivity associated therewith. The processorallocates to each packet class at least a portion of at least one processor resourceA–D, the allocation being based on the delay sensitivities associated with each packet class. Each processor resourceA–D may have a processing threshold, and the processormay determine, based upon arriving packets, whether at least one processor resource will exceed its processing threshold, thus defining at least one overloaded processor resourceA. The processormay reallocate at least a portion of at least one processor resource to process packets for the at least one overloaded processor resourceA thereby defining at least one reallocated processor resourceD.
