    摘要: Methods, systems, and arrangements enable packet scheduling in accordance with quality of service (QoS) constraints for data flows. In a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network environment, for example, a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer schedules packet transmission of various data flows to meet stipulated criteria, including permitted transport format combinations (TFCs) from a TFC set (TFCS). In first embodiment(s), the TFC is selected based on guaranteed rate transmission rates, weighted fair queuing (WFQ) transmission rates, QoS class, transport block set size (TBSS), and optionally queue fill levels. These first embodiment(s) also further refine the selection process using backlog memories corresponding to previously unmet guaranteed and/or fair transmission rates. In second embodiment(s), memory requirements are reduced by selecting a TFC based on guaranteed rate transmission rates, QoS class, TBSS, and queue fill levels, without accommodating backlogs.

    摘要: A method of optimizing the timing offsets with which data frames are transmitted over the Iur/Iub interfaces of a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN. The method comprises, for a given Iur/Iub interface or set of Iur/Iub interfaces over which identical user plane data is to be sent, defining a duration of a data frame receiving window for use by the receiving node(s), transmitting data frames from a sending node with an initial timing offset sufficient to ensure a likelihood that the frames will be received at the or each receiving node within the defined receiving window, reducing the timing offset at the sending node in a stepwise manner, and adjusting the timing offset at the sending node in response to the receipt of late Time of Arrival error reports at the sending node. In a second embodiment, the frame synchronisation of frames corresponding to speech services and data services is carried out by delaying the frames corresponding to speech services a fixed delay and the frames corresponding to data services a variable delay based on a received time of arrival feedback.
