Radio communication apparatus and radio communication method
First Claim
1. A radio communication apparatus, comprising:
- a first processing unit which performs physical layer protocol processing in order to make a radio communication using at least one first channel having a first frequency bandwidth;
a second processing unit which performs physical layer protocol processing in order to make a radio communication using a second channel which has a second frequency bandwidth having a bandwidth wider than that of the first frequency band and overlapping with the first frequency band;
a queue which stores a transmission frame including either information of a traffic class, a capability of a destination terminal, a recommended bandwidth by the destination terminal, and a time limit to complete transmission of a frame; and
a scheduler which controls a time when the transmission frame is output from the queue, and which of the first and the second processing units should be used for the output transmission frame, based on the information.

Abstract
A radio communication apparatus includes a first processing unit which performs physical layer protocol processing in order to make a radio communication using at least one first channel having a first frequency bandwidth and a second processing unit which performs physical layer protocol processing in order to make a radio communication using a second channel which has a second frequency bandwidth. The second frequency bandwidth has a bandwidth wider than that of the first frequency band. A transmission frame including either information of a traffic class, a capability of a destination terminal, a recommended bandwidth by the destination terminal, and a time limit to complete transmission of a frame is stored in a queue. A scheduler controls a time when the transmission frame is output from the queue, and which of the first and the second processing units should be used for the output transmission frame, based on the information.

15. A radio communication method, comprising:
-
performing physical layer protocol processing for making a radio communication using at least one first channel having a first frequency bandwidth by a first processing unit;
performing physical layer protocol processing for making a radio communication using a second channel which has a second frequency bandwidth having a bandwidth wider than that of the first frequency band and overlapping with the first frequency band by a second processing unit;
storing a transmission frame including information of either a traffic class, a capability of a destination terminal, a recommended bandwidth by the destination terminal, and a time limit to complete transmission of a frame in a queue; and
controlling a time when the transmission frame is output from the queue, and which of the first processing unit and the second processing unit should be supplied the output transmission frame on the basis of the information.
