Abstract

A high speed wireless network for the access market where a scheduling algorithm adjusts the ratio of two contention modes used to allocate bandwidth from the Hub. The two contention modes, request and grant mode and contention mode, are utilized so that contention is greater when the system is lightly loaded and seamlessly decreases as the system becomes heavily loaded.
