Abstract

A cell scheduling method and apparatus are described in which cells are efficiently scheduled in four steps. In a first step, a VC is selected for servicing and serviced if necessary. In a second step, cells from the serviced VCs are scheduled for transmission. In a third step, jitter is controlled. In a fourth step, final departure of cells is scheduled.
