 * \ingroup wimax
 * \brief This class manage the bandwidth request and grant mechanism.
 * The bandwidth request and grant mechanism is supported by the Bandwidth
 * Manager. Both BS and SS maintain a bandwidth manager. Furthermore BS's
 * bandwidth manager works together with the uplink scheduler to determine
 * total bandwidth available and allocation size for each service flow.
 * Bandwidth request mechanism is a key feature of the WiMAX scheduler
 * since all three non-UGS services explicitly request for bandwidth by
 * sending a bandwidth request to BS.
