Abstract
A method for allocating fractional bandwidth in a fixed-frame communication system is described. The method includes calculating the integral cells per frame required at a connection, calculating the fractional cells per second required at the connection, setting a counter, adding the fractional cells per second to the counter, determining if the counter is above a preset limit, allocating an additional cell when the counter exceeds the preset limit, and reducing the counter a predetermined amount to reflect allocating the cell.
