Apparatus and method for scheduling packets in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for scheduling packets in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one buffer for storing the packets; and
a scheduler for dividing a transmission deadline of the packets for a destination into a first deadline, which is an end point of the transmission deadline, and a second deadline, which is preset before the first deadline in consideration of a transmission channel state and a quality of service (QoS) of the packets, wherein the scheduler schedules and transmits the packets stored in the at least one buffer according to transmission priorities thereof, which are determined by a predetermined scheme, before the second deadline, and the scheduler schedules and transmits the packets according to an approaching order of the packets with respect to the first deadline if the packets have passed through the second deadline.
