QOS-AWARE RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION) WITH ACTIVITY DETECTION

摘要

A packet scheduler (21) that schedules packets for wireless transmission to a UE (16) during a time interval, based on calculating a metric for the UE (16) that takes into account both an activity ratio indicative of the long-term required throughput (if any) for the UE (16) compared to a scheduled throughput. The packet scheduler (21) compares the metric for the UE with that it calculates for other UE's also having packets to be scheduled for delivery during the time interval, and the packets of the UE for which the metric is greatest are scheduled preferentially.
