            Abstract : 
A scheme, called the enhanced patching (EPatching), is proposed to support user heterogeneity. Both the optimal threshold window and the average bandwidth are analyzed. A simple but efficient analytical model is also proposed to evaluate the distribution of the capacity demanded by the clients. The numerical results show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
