METHOD FOR PACKET SCHEDULING IN SELECTIVE HYBRID ARQ

摘要

There is provided a method for packet scheduling in a selective hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) including the steps of: increasing a priority of a receiver buffer after a packet is transmitted to the receiver; receiving a feedback packet for the transmitted packet and determining whether the feedback packet is an ACK packet or a NACK packet; lowering the priority of the receiver buffer if the feedback packet is an ACK packet; determining whether the feedback packet is a NACK packet for initial transmission or the feedback packet is a NACK packet for retransmission if the feedback packet is the NACK packet, increasing the priority of the receiver buffer if the feedback packet is the NACK packet for the initial transmission, and lowering the priority of the receiver buffer if the feedback packet is the NACK packet for retransmission; and scheduling packets after calculating a priority of each receiver buffer by performing the priority increasing step to the determining step for all of receivers.
