Scheduling in packet switched networks

摘要

A system and method of scheduling radio resources for a plurality of users in a packet-switched radio communication network. A scheduling number (Si) is calculated for each user before each scheduling event. A weight (Wi) is assigned to each user based on an associated Quality of Service. The Si varies depending on the assigned Wi and when the user entered the scheduling session. Radio resources are assigned to the user having the largest ratio Wi/Si between the weight and the scheduling number.
