METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING FRAMES ACROSS A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- assigning a reliability factor for a communication node;
determining a signal interference associated with a mobile station;
determining a transmission gain to reduce the signal interference, wherein the transmission gain is based upon the determined signal interference and the assigned reliability factor for the communication node; and
selecting a coding scheme to achieve the transmission gain for a frame to be transmitted to the mobile station.

Abstract
A method and apparatus include a scheduling entity (208) for selecting a coding scheme and transmitting the frame (304) across a communication network (100). The controller (206) coupled to scheduling entity (208) determines a transmission gain for the frame based on the received signal interference and assigned reliability factor for the communication node. The scheduler entity (208) selects the lowest coding scheme for the frame corresponding to the determined transmission gain. The transceiver (214) coupled to controller (206) via interface (212) receives the encoded frame and transmits the frame to a plurality of mobile stations in the communication network (100).
