The scheduling of data transmissions in a CDMA system or other type of wireless communication system is implemented using a rate processor sharing approach in which user Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for forward link data transmission are converted into a rate and a corresponding violation probability, and an available system resource such as power is then divided among the users in accordance with the rates. For example, the approach may determine for each user i a rate Ri to be provided for user i with a probability 1-e<-delta><i>, where the deltai are determined independently for each of the users. The system resource may be divided among the users in a manner which satisfies a linear relationship involving the rates and corresponding cost factors of the users. The portion of the system resource allocated to a given user may be fixed for a designated scheduling interval. The approach may also utilize statistical multiplexing to achieve performance gains for multiple bursty users, and may include an admission control function.
