Abstract

A radio communication system has a primary communication pathway and a secondary communication pathway. When the primary communication pathway is implemented by a microwave radio link, it is susceptible to poor performance under adverse weather conditions. A system evaluates the available data bandwidth under adverse conditions and provides control instructions to a data switch to reduce the data flow to the primary communication pathway. In addition, the data switch may receive priority control data to prioritize data queues to the primary communication pathway and the secondary communication pathway in accordance with the received instructions.
