Method and apparatus for improving scheduler performance in wireless packet data systems

摘要

A method and apparatus for scheduling data transmissions is disclosed that compensates for link level errors and uses retransmission information to schedule future transmissions from each user. The disclosed method and apparatus utilizes a more accurate measure of users' data rates (i.e., their effective data throughput rates) that accounts for the Frame Error Rate (FER) as well as retransmissions when scheduling transmissions from multiple users.
