WIRELESS CHANNEL ALLOCATION IN BASE STATION PROCESSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for allocating wireless channels in a base station processor to messages sent and received between a subscriber and the base station processor in a wireless network.SOLUTION: A latency period is determined corresponding to a return message 54 to be received from a responsive node 40 in response to an outgoing message 42 sent from a sender via the base station. A latency manager 34 in a base station processor 16 computes the latency period and stores the value in an allocation table 36. Prior to the reception of the return message, a scheduler 28 schedules a channel to be available at the end of the latency period indicated in the allocation table. At the end of the latency period, the return message is received and the scheduler allocates the channel scheduled in the allocation table. The scheduled channel is used to send the message to or from the corresponding subscriber.
