<p>The present invention provides a scheduling mechanism (74) for controlling packet data from multiple types of data sources (48-52), including data sources (48-52) having reroutable data and data sources (48-52) having non-reroutable data, the multiple types of data sources (48-52) flowing into a multiuser channel (56) in a wireless spread spectrum code division multiple access communication system, the mechanism (74) characterized by:
a queue (54) associated with the multiuser channel (56) having an input configured to receive incoming packet data from a plurality of data source queues (48-52), the multiuser channel queue (54) outputting the received packet data for transmission over the multiuser channel (56);the plurality of data source queues (76-86), each data source queue (76-86) uniquely associated with each data source (48-52) and having an input configured to receive data from that queue's data source (48-52), each data source queue (48-52) capable of varying its capacity; andwherein the varying capacity of each data source queue (48-52) changes based on in part an availability of the multiuser channel queue (54).</p> |
