Abstract

A technique for allocating bandwidth in a digital broadband delivery system (DBDS) using a bandwidth allocation manager to dynamically assign a content delivery mode to a plurality of digital transmission channels based on an allocation criteria received from a subscriber is disclosed herein. The bandwidth allocation manager determines a bandwidth allocation schedule for a predetermined bandwidth based on allocation criteria comprising a criteria received from a subscriber. The allocation criteria received from the subscriber may comprise a subscriber reservation request which is processed by the bandwidth allocation manager to determine the bandwidth allocation schedule.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09 / 590,521, filed Jun. 9, 2000, which claims the benefit-of provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 138,756, filed Jun. 11, 1999, and to provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 170,302, filed Dec. 13, 1999.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to digital broadband delivery systems. More particularly, the invention relates to management of bandwidth allocation in a digital broadband delivery system. BACKGROUND

[0003] Over the past twenty years there has been a dramatic and continual increase in the number and types of television programming available to television viewers. Traditional delivery systems, such as broadcast television, however, are limited in that the programming provided is temporally fixed—that is a viewer must tune into a particular broadcast at the time when it is shown. Although traditional delivery models have the advantage of allowing virtually unlimited...
