Abstract
Disclosed is a method, a computer-readable memory medium and apparatus to create a combined priority list that comprises both uplink users and downlink users ordered by priority for use in scheduling user transmissions based on their respective priority locations in the combined priority list. In an exemplary embodiment a first set of users are retransmission users, a second set of users are delay sensitive users, and a third set of users are other users that are neither retransmission users or delay sensitive users. The set of retransmission users has a higher priority than the set of delay sensitive users, which in turn has a higher priority than the set of other users.
Claims35
A method, comprising:
- creating a combined priority list that comprises both uplink users and downlink users ordered by priority;
- and
- scheduling user transmissions based on their respective priority locations in the combined priority list.
A computer-readable medium that stores computer program instructions, the execution of which result in operations that comprise:
- creating a combined priority list that comprises both uplink users and downlink users ordered by priority;
- and
- scheduling user transmissions based on their respective priority locations in the combined priority list.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a controller configured to create a combined priority list that comprises both uplink users and downlink users ordered by priority for use in scheduling user transmissions based on their respective priority locations in the combined priority list.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for establishing a first priority list for a first set of users that are retransmission users, for establishing a second priority list for a second set of users that are delay sensitive users, and for establishing a third priority list for a third set of users that are neither retransmission users or delay sensitive users;
- means for creating from the first, second and third priority lists a combined priority list that comprises both uplink users and downlink users ordered by priority.
