NCW resource scheduler initially attempts to place the burst within bandwidth segments
that provide the required spatial connectivity and whose uplink EIRP range
encompasses the EIRP of the source terminal and downlink G/T range encompasses
the G/T of the destination terminal. Bandwidth segments satisfying such criteria are
referred to as "preferred" bandwidth segments. If a burst can have multiple source
terminals, (e.g., Contention ROW bursts) then the EIRP of the most-disadvantaged
node is utilized to determine the "preferred" bandwidth segment(s). If a burst has
multiple destination
Communication bursts), then the G/T of the most-disadvantaged node is utilized to
determine the "preferred" bandwidth segment(s). If and only if the "preferred" bandwidth
segments are fully consumed (bandwidth or power), will the NCW resource scheduler
place bursts within other "non-preferred" bandwidth segments. Since the RFOW burst
must be placed in a predetermined bandwidth segment, "preferred" bandwidth segment
selection is not required.
