Abstract
A system, communication device, and method for scheduling transmissions from the communication device. The device predicts an arrival time of a next packet for transmission when a current packet arrives in a transmission buffer. The device plans a future transmission time of the next packet based on the predicted arrival time of the next packet, and books transmission resources for the planned future transmission time. If the next packet has arrived a Tdrop time period before the planned future transmission time, the device transmits the next packet. If the next packet has not arrived at that time, the device re-plans the future transmission time of the next packet. The device may then unbook the transmission resources for the planned future transmission time, book transmission resources for the re-planned future transmission time, and notify other communication devices that the unbooked transmission resources are available for use by the other communication devices.
