Abstract

A method of operation of a network transport system includes: determining a congestion mode based on a total bandwidth request meeting or exceeding a bandwidth threshold, where the congestion mode indicates a level of network traffic and the total bandwidth request is a sum of all bandwidth requests for accessing the network; calculating a fixed information rate schedule grant based on a fixed information rate list to create a bandwidth grant for a fixed information rate request; calculating a low latency schedule grant based on a low latency list to create the bandwidth grant for a low latency request; calculating a main schedule grant for allocating an available bandwidth based on the congestion mode, where the main schedule grant is calculated using a weighted maximum-minimum fairness method when the congestion mode indicates congestion; and generating a grant packet for defining a transmission schedule of a first network unit.
