Scheduler and methods therein for scheduling data transmission in a wireless communication system

Abstract:

A scheduler and method for scheduling data transmission in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The scheduler buffers data packets in a buffer and monitors status of the buffer. The buffered data packets will remain in the buffer, until the buffer contains a data packet which is associated with a priority level higher than a priority level of a predefined priority threshold. Then, the scheduler selects a modulation and coding scheme for the buffered data packets and sends the buffered data packets to a radio unit for transmission.
