1. A method of scheduling data transmission between a plurality of nodes in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- defining a plurality of rate bins, each rate bin being defined by a quantile index;
receiving transmission requests from said nodes, each of said requests defining a data rate;
assigning a value to each request based on the data rate defined in the request and the quantile indices of the rate bins; and
effecting a scheduling decision based on the value assigned to the request.

Abstract
A method of scheduling data transmission between a plurality of nodes in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: defining a plurality of rate bins each defined by a quantile index; receiving transmission requests from said nodes, said requests each defining a data rate; assigning a value to each request based on the rate defined in the request and the quantile indices of the rate bins; and effecting a scheduling decision based on the value assigned to the request.
