METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING PACKET DATA TRANSMISSIONS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method (100) for scheduling packet data transmissions in a wireless communication system wherein a per-user Priority Function (PF) is calculated as a function of packet delay time of the user. When a given user has a pack et delay time violating a threshold, the PF of the user is adjusted accordingly . In one embodiment, a delay function is applied to the PF calculation, wherei n the delay function considers the average requested data rate for all users i n the active set having pending data and the average data rate of a given user .
