Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting a plurality of data streams is provided, having a scheduling unit for selecting a data stream as a selected data stream and a transmission unit for transmitting the selected data stream. The scheduling unit is configured to select the selected data stream depending on scheduling information and a counter value, the scheduling information having a plurality of scheduling elements. A data stream is assigned to each scheduling element, wherein the data stream information of the scheduling element is data stream information for the data stream assigned to the scheduling element. A selection criterion is fulfilled or not fulfilled depending on the selection information of each scheduling element and the counter value. Depending on an order of the plurality of scheduling elements, the scheduling unit is configured to select, as the selected data stream, a data stream, which is assigned to a selection element, for which the selection criterion is fulfilled. The scheduling unit is configured to determine for at least one scheduling element, whether or not the selection criterion is fulfilled.
