SERVICE DEPENDENT SHARED PHYSICAL CHANNEL MAPPING

摘要

A method is disclosed for use in wireless communication systems employing dynamic resource allocation schemes (Dynamic Channel Allocation, DCA) together with Link Adaptation (LA) schemes. The method allows to provide individually optimized Quality of Service to each of a plurality of services. This is achieved by exclusively mapping data belonging to one single service to a Physical Data Block. Based on information about the packets, the services and/or the shared physical channels, scheduling metrics are calculated, based upon the scheduling metrics it is decided which of said services is to be served next. Therefore, it is possible to adapt the transmission parameters of physical channels individually to the required Quality of Service of data transmitted over the channel. As a further advantage, the transmission capacity of the physical channel can be economically utilized.
