Abstract

A method and system for optimal radio channel management in a distributed connection and transport network. The method includes the steps of determining the quality of service required by a communication session, determining whether transport resources are available for immediate use by the communication session, and queuing the communication session for assignment to transport resources in accordance with the quality of service required and the availability of transport resources for immediate use. The system includes a set of assignable transport resources, an interface for requesting a communication session, a detection processor in communication with the interface for determining the quality of service required by the session, a resource processor in communication with the detection processor determining whether transport resources are available for immediate use by the session, and a queuing processor in communication with the resource processor holding the communication session for prioritized allocation to the transport resources.
