Abstract
A bus control system includes N bus agents each having a corresponding bus request delay and M bus agents each having a corresponding bus request delay. A controller determines the bus request delays of the N bus agents and the M bus agents and grants concurrent ownership of a bus to each of the N bus agents and non-concurrent ownership of the bus to each of the M bus agents based on the determination. M and N are integers greater than 1.
