摘要:Within a computer network, a first one of a number of clients may be a
consumer of information included within one or more data streams transmitted betweena server and one or more others of the clients. However, each of the clients are alsocommunicatively coupled to the server via a command channel independent of these datastreams. In some cases, the first client receives the information as the data streams aretransmitted from the server to the other clients, while in other cases the first clientreceives the information as it is being transmitted from the other clients to the server. Inaddition to the data streams, the first client may exchange additional information with theserver. The data streams may be transmitted on a wireless communication link
communicatively coupling the server and the clients. However, the first client may receivethe information via a communication path separate from the wireless communication link.In some cases the information represents only a portion of the data streams transmittedbetween the server and the clients. Bandwidth within the network may be allocated bypartitioning a communication channel into a number of slots according to bandwidthneeds of information consumers and information providers within the network; andsharing at least one of the slots among two of the information consumers within thenetwork.
