Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for the assignment of a plurality of processors to a plurality of data servers. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides systems and methods for addressing the problem of transmitter/receiver assignment for softer handoff in CDMA systems as well as any other system that requires variable size allocation of processors in a resource sharing environment. An exemplary embodiment of a system for processing data received from data servers according to the present invention comprises a shared medium, a plurality of processors and a smaller plurality of intermediate nodes partitioned into K sets, wherein at the kset, every 'k' processors are associated with one intermediate node. The shared medium couples the data servers to the intermediate nodes. Additionally, the system may include a system controller for controlling the operation of the system and the assignment of processors to the intermediate nodes and to the data servers at the beginning of each service request and thereafter upon each modification request to the service.
