Abstract

The present invention provides a method for providing multiple services and an apparatus for the same in a wireless packet data communication system. It guarantees various qualities of the services to a plurality of users by determining priorities of the mobile stations and an amount of resource allocated to each mobile station, and determining priorities of the multiple services and an amount of resource allocated to each service based on the resource allocated to each mobile station.

Claims

1. An apparatus for providing multiple services to each of a plurality of mobile stations in a communication system, comprising:

a first scheduler determining priorities of the mobile stations and an amount of resources allocated to each mobile station; and

at least one second scheduler, based on the allocated resources to each mobile station, determining priorities of the multiple services and an amount of resources allocated to each service.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one second scheduler determines the priorities of the multiple services by applying a required amount of the resources for each service and a required communication quality respetively.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein at least one second scheduler allocates more slots and more transmission time to each service having a higher priority than others.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the first scheduler and at least one second scheduler are implemented on an upper layer of a physical layer.

5. A method for providing multiple services to each of a plurality of mobile stations in a communication system, comprising:

determining priorities of the mobile stations and an amount of resources allocated to each mobile station; and

determining priorities of the multiple services and an amount of resources allocated to each service based on the service priorities within the resources allocated to each mobile station.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the priorities of the multiple services are determined by applying a required amount of the resources for each service and a required communication quality.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein more slots and more transmission time are allocated to each service having a higher priority than others.

8. A dual structured scheduler for providing multiple services to each of a plurality of mobile stations in a communication system, comprising:

a first schedulers determining priorities of each user and quantity of communication resources based on the priorities of each user

second schedulers determining priority of each inputted data in service-wise regarding each user receiving the inputted data and quantity of communication resources for corresponding services based on the prioritye; and

wherein the second schedulers allocate the communication resources to each service within the quantity of the resources allocated by the first scheduler.

9. The scheduler of claim 8, wherein the second schedulers further include a plurality of buffers saving data outputted in accordance of the priority of each service respetively.

10. The scheduler of claim 8, wherein the first scheduler and the second scheduler are implemented on an upper layer of a physical layer.
