Wireless communication apparatus and wireless channel assignment method
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus which communicates with a plurality of wireless terminals, comprising:
- an assignment order determination part which determines an assignment order of wireless channels between said communication apparatus and said wireless terminals based on an amount of data to be transmitted from a transmission end for every wireless terminal, and communication quality at a reception end for every wireless terminal; and
a wireless channel assignment part which assigns, according to the thus-determined assignment order, wireless channels between said communication apparatus and said wireless terminals.

Abstract
At each wireless terminal, a receiving unit receives a signal transmitted from a wireless base station. A signal-to-noise ratio measurement unit measures an S/N of this received signal. In the wireless base station, data amount measurement unit measures the amount of data stored in each buffer therein. A maximum stay time measurement unit measures a maximum stay time of packets in each buffer. A classification by the maximum stay time unit classifies each wireless terminal based on the maximum stay time. A slot assignment priority order determination unit determines an assignment order of time slots to each wireless terminal based on the classification result in the classification unit, the receiving signal-to-noise ratio, the amount of data, and the maximum stay time
