Abstract
Disclosed are a method and apparatus of scheduling a bandwidth in a cable network. The method includes receiving variable information set according to a condition of a network, calculating a packet time slot value in which a delay time gain is maximized using the received variable information; setting an algorithm allocating a bandwidth between channels of the network using the packet time slot value, and operating a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) according to the algorithm.
