Devices, methods and computer readable media for scheduling optimization for telecommunication systems

A terminal device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to perform:
• receiving, from a network device, a first data packet;
• and
• receiving, from the network device, at least one subsequent data packet according to at least one time delay,
• wherein the at least one time delay is calculated for the at least one subsequent data packet based on parameters associated with a type of traffic shaper,
• wherein the at least one delay is calculated in a case where the network device determines that one of the parameters associated with CBS classMeasurementInterval is larger than a threshold,
• wherein the at least one time delay comprises:
• a first type of time delay calculated for the ith data packet by using a first equation:
• Delay1=Time1[i]−Time[i−1]=MaxFrameSize/operldleSlope+delayOffset, and
• receiving, from a network device, at least one subsequent data packet according to at least one time delay further comprises:
• receiving, from the network device, the ith data packet at Time1[i] described by the first equation:
• Time1 [i]=Time[i−1]+Delay1,
• i being an integer larger than 1, Time1 [i] being the transmission time of the ith data packet and Time[i−1] being the actual transmission time for the (i−1)th data packet,
• wherein
• delayOffset=(maximum (EthernetFrameSize))/portTransmitRate;
• and
• EthernetFrameSize is the number of bits per frame in Ethernet.
