The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for scheduling data for transmission via at least two half-duplex time division multiple access connections, wherein for each connection respective capacities of data portions to a transmission frame are allocated so that the total capacity of all data portions of the transmission frame does not exceed a predetermined capacity for each transmission direction, and that the sum of capacities of data portions of each connection of the transmission frame in both transmission directions does not exceed the predetermined capacity. Then, the transmission timing of the data portions within the transmission frame is set in such a manner that transmission and reception intervals of each connection do not overlap. Accordingly, scheduling can be optimized to meet both QoS and half-duplex requirements.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for scheduling data for transmission via at least two half-duplex time division multiple access connections, wherein for each connection respective capacities of data portions to a transmission frame are allocated so that the total capacity of all data portions of the transmission frame does not exceed a predetermined capacity for each transmission direction, and that the sum of capacities of data portions of each connection of the transmission frame in both transmission directions does not exceed the predetermined capacity. Then, the transmission timing of the data portions within the transmission frame is set in such a manner that transmission and reception intervals of each connection do not overlap. Accordingly, scheduling can be optimized to meet both QoS and half-duplex requirements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
