Scheduling apparatus and method for packet data service in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method for assigning packet data to be transmitted to a radio packet data channel of a base station system in response to packet traffic transmission requests for a plurality of mobile stations in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- collecting the packet traffic transmission requests of the radio packet data channel for the mobile stations;
selecting at least one of the mobile stations from the collected packet traffic transmission requests;
transmitting to each selected mobile station a channel assignment message including information about a data rate, a data transmission duration and a start time of the data transmission durations for the selected mobile station; and
transmitting the packet data to the selected mobile station at the start time of the data transmission durations at the data rate.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for assigning packet data to be transmitted to a radio packet data channel of a base station system in response to a packet traffic transmission request for a plurality of mobile stations in a mobile communication system. The method comprises collecting the packet traffic transmission requests of the radio packet data channel for the mobile stations; selecting at least one of the mobile stations from the collected packet traffic transmission requests; transmitting to the selected mobile station a channel assignment message including information about a data rate, data transmission durations of the radio packet data channel and start points of the data transmission durations for the selected mobile station; and transmitting the packet data to the selected mobile station at the start time of the data transmission durations at the data rate.

7. A method for scheduling and assigning a radio packet data channel in a base station system for a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
collecting, in a first scheduling interval, the packet traffic transmission requests of the radio packet data channel, transmitted from mobile stations;
selecting, in a second scheduling interval, at least one mobile station intended to use the radio packet data channel by scheduling the packet traffic transmission requests, determining a data rate, a data transmission duration and a start time to be used by the selected mobile station, and generating a channel assignment message for the radio packet data channel, the channel assignment message including information about the determined data rate, data transmission duration and start time; and
transmitting, in a third scheduling interval, packet data for the corresponding mobile station at a start point of the corresponding data transmission duration of the respective mobile stations to which the radio packet data channel is sequentially assigned, ending transmission of the radio packet data at an end point of the last assigned data transmission duration of the mobile station, and transmitting the packet data to the last mobile station assigned. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An apparatus for assigning packet data to be transmitted to a radio packet data channel of a base station system in response to a packet traffic transmission request for a plurality of mobile stations in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a collector for collecting the packet traffic transmission requests of the radio packet data channel for the mobile stations;
a scheduler for selecting at least one of the mobile stations from the collected packet traffic transmission requests;
a message generator for generating a channel assignment message including information about a data rate, a data transmission duration and a start time of the radio packet data channel and start points of the data transmission durations for the selected mobile station, and transmitting the generated channel assignment message to the selected mobile station; and
a transmission device for transmitting the packet data to the selected mobile station at the start points of the data transmission durations at the data rate.
