Wireless communication apparatus for lower latency communication

摘要

According to an embodiment, a wireless communication apparatus includes a packet generator, a queue unit, a predictor and a scheduler. The packet generator packetizes data. The queue unit temporarily stores a packet to be transmitted. The predictor predicts a transmission time of a first packet to obtain a first time. The scheduler outputs a second packet to the queue unit at a second time earlier than the first time. An interval from a third time when transmission of the second packet is complete until the first time is equal to or shorter than a predetermined period.

1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
a packet generator configured to packetize data; a queue unit configured to temporarily store a packet to be transmitted; a predictor configured to predict a transmission time of a first packet to obtain a first time, the first time being a predicted transmission time of the first packet at which the first packet is to be transmitted; and a scheduler configured to output a second packet to the queue unit at a second time, the second time being earlier than the predicted transmission time of the first packet such that the second packet is transmitted before the predicted transmission time of the first packet, wherein an interval from a third time when transmission of the second packet is complete to the predicted transmission time of the first packet is equal to or shorter than a predetermined period, and wherein the second packet involves a larger amount of allowable delay than the first packet or corresponds to dummy data.
