Abstract
Techniques for dynamic backhaul bandwidth provisioning are described herein. For example, a method may include determining a potential subscriber user equipment load change, transmitting a backhaul bandwidth change request message based a potential subscriber UE load change, wherein the backhaul bandwidth change request message includes a requested backhaul bandwidth level, receiving a backhaul bandwidth change reply message in response to transmitting the backhaul bandwidth change request message, implementing a subscriber UE load change response corresponding to the potential subscriber UE load change based on receiving the backhaul bandwidth change reply message. Further example methods disclosed may include receiving a backhaul bandwidth change request message, wherein the backhaul bandwidth change request message includes a requested backhaul bandwidth level, calculating an available backhaul bandwidth level corresponding to a backhaul, transmitting a backhaul bandwidth change acknowledgement message when the available backhaul bandwidth level supports the requested backhaul bandwidth level.
