SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAXIMIZING THROUGHPUT USING PRIORITIZED EFFICIENT BANDWIDTH SHARING

Systems and methods are disclosed, and one includes determining a network resource state, based at least in part on a delay level of the network resource, determining a first priority user demand and a second priority user demand for the network resource, and upon the network resource state meeting a condition, adjusting an allocation of network resource bandwidth to the first priority user and an allocation of network resource bandwidth to the second priority user adjusting. The update of the allocation of network resource bandwidth to the first priority user is based at least in part on a combination of the first priority user demand, the second priority user demand, a first priority user guaranteed bandwidth, and a capacity of the network resource. The update of the allocation of network resource bandwidth to the second priority user is based at least in part on the adjusted allocation of network resource bandwidth to the first priority user.
