Appeal No. 09/349,477 Page 3 Application No. 2003-1923 dedicated circuits to transfer data. Data to be transferred are segmented and packetized, and a header is placed on the packet for delivery. (Id. at 3.) The invention allocates a wireless bandwidth and other resources based on contents of packets to be transferred. Contents of packets are analyzed to characterize QoS requirements for applications associated with packets of Internet Protocol ("IP") flows. For example, large bandwidth can be allocated to an application using the File Transfer Protocol. (Id. at 3-4.) A further understanding of the invention can be achieved by reading the following claim. 1. A packet-centric wireless point to mufti-point telecommunications system comprising: a wireless base station communicating via a packet-centric protocol to a first data network; one or more host workstations communicating via said packet- centric protocol to said first data network; one or more subscriber customer premise equipment (CPE) stations coupled with said wireless base station over a shared wireless bandwidth via said packet-centric protocol over a wireless communication medium, wherein said packet-centric protocol used over said wireless communication medium is not circuit-centric, and wherein real-time wireless bandwidth allocations and system resource allocations are determined based on contents of packets to be communicated over said wireless communication medium; andPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
