Radio scheduler and data plane interface

摘要

A media access control architecture operates to receive bandwidth requests in a first radio frame from mobile stations for uplink transmissions. A data plane provides once per radio frame a first aggregated message to a radio scheduler in a control plane. The first aggregated message comprises bandwidth requests for uplink transmissions received in the first radio frame from the mobile stations. Two or more messages for downlink transmission of packets are received from a core network for transmission to one or more of the mobile stations. The data plane provides once per radio frame a second aggregated message to the radio scheduler. The second aggregated message comprises the messages received from the core network for downlink transmission. At least one or more uplink transmissions or one or more downlink transmissions, or combinations thereof, are scheduled by the radio scheduler.
