Abstract
A method and apparatus for class based bandwidth scheduling for Quality of Service (QoS) for radio air interfaces. In an embodiment, users of an air interface are assigned to at least one of a plurality of QoS classes. Each class is assigned an elasticity value. When traffic congestion is determined on the air interface during a time frame, the actual rate of data transmission for each user is reduced according to the elasticity of the class to which the user belongs.
