A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS DATA TRANSMISSION

摘要

An apparatus and a method for scheduling wireless transmission of data blocks between multiple base transceiver stations (330, 350, 370) and multiple receiver (subscriber) units (397, 399). A scheduler unit (316) receives the protocol data units from a network and sub-divides the protocol data units into sub-protocol data units. A plurality of base transceiver stations (330, 350, 370) receive the sub-protocol data units, and wirelessly transmit the sub-protocol data units to a subscriber unit. The scheduler unit (316) determines a schedule protocole for transmission of the sub-protocol data units by the plurality of base transceiver stations (330, 350, 370). A standard network interconnection can provide a transfer path of the sub-protocol data units between the base controller (310) and the base transceiver stations (330, 350, 370), or the home base transceiver station and the base transceiver stations (330, 350, 370). The sub-protocol data units can be encapsulated within standard data units that correspond with the standard network interconnection. The standard network connection can be an ATM network connection and the standard data units can be ATM cells. Alternatively, the standard network connection can be IP network connection and the standard data units can be IP cells.
