SCHEDULER AND A METHOD FOR SCHEDULING TRANSMISSIONS IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK, PARTICULARLY FOR ALLOCATING A HIGHER TARGET MINIMUM THROUGHPUT FOR RECEIVING NEXT TRANSMISSION TO ONE OF MULTIPLE USERS

摘要

PURPOSE: A scheduler and a method for scheduling transmissions in a communication network are provided to allocate a higher target minimum throughput for receiving next transmission to a user based on a class of QoS(Quality of Service) of the user. CONSTITUTION: A token count for tracing a mobile station(105) is determined. A weight value of each user is determined by a scheduler(119). If there is no user having a positive weight value function, the user is not scheduled and an air link slot is in an idle state. A mobile station(105) having the highest positive weight value is selected as a user for a service or be scheduled to receive the next scheduled transmission in the current air link slot.
