The Burst Controller monitors statistics in the received ACK from each Remote. The statistics report the fill status of the STDMA buffers. The Burst Controller builds a table of the group and calculates the relative buffer fill for each Remote. It then calculates the length of the Data Slot for each Remote based on the Mini- mum Slot Size plus a percentage of the Available Bandwidth. Idle remotes would receive a Data Slot equal to the Minimum Slot Size.

In the figure 3-32,Remote 1 with IP address 10.1.128.1 had activity during the averaging period. It captured 37.8% of the total slot time and had an average slot length of 283 ms. Remotes 2, 3, and 4 had 41.5%, 18.1%, and 7.6% respec- tively. The dynamic range of STDMA is a function of the difference between
