METHOD, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND COMMUNICATION UNIT FOR SCHEDULING A PROCESSING OF PACKET STREAM CHANNELS

摘要

A method for scheduling a processing of packet stream channels comprises: determining whether at least one packet stream channel comprises a frame ready for processing; if at least one packet stream channel comprises a frame ready for processing, identifying a frame ready for processing having a highest priority; and scheduling the identified highest priority frame for processing. The method further comprises prioritising frames ready for processing based on at least one of: a frame availability time and an estimated processing time, for each frame.
