Method for providing dynamic bandwidth allocation based on IP-flow characteristics in a wireless point to multi-point (PtMP) transmission system

A method for allocating a shared wireless bandwidth in a packet-centric wireless point to multi-point telecommunications system. The method includes allocating the shared bandwidth between a wireless base station and one or more subscriber customer premises equipment (CPE) stations. The method can include dynamically allocating the shared bandwidth. The method can include allocating the shared bandwidth on a frame basis, such as (1) allocating the frame of the shared bandwidth in an uplink direction from a subscriber CPE station to the wireless base station; or (2) allocating the frame of the shared bandwidth in a downlink direction from the wireless base station to a subscriber CPE station. The method can also include: allocating the shared bandwidth on a subframe within a frame basis; allocating the subframe of the shared bandwidth in an uplink direction from a subscriber CPE station to the wireless base station; allocating the subframe of the shared bandwidth in a downlink direction from the wireless base station a subscriber CPE station.
