Employing an algorithm for enhanced timeslot assignment in radio resource scheduling

摘要

598205 Disclosed is a method (110, 120) for scheduling wireless transmissions between a network node (110) and a mobile station (120). The method includes obtaining a multi slot class of a mobile station (120) and determining a downlink Temporary Block Flow configuration. Uplink timeslots are assigned to the mobile station (120) and each assigned uplink timeslot is associated with a priority value. The priority values are based on the downlink Temporary Block Flow configuration and the multi slot class of the mobile station (120). As many uplink timeslots as possible are selected, based on the obtained multi slot class of the mobile station (120), in a priority order in descending timeslot number down to timeslot number 0. The order is determined by starting from the timeslot number computed by the following algorithm: the lowest timeslot number assigned to downlink transmission plus 4 minus the number of timeslots it takes to switch from transmission to reception, maximum timeslot number 7.
