Abstract

In a scheduling controller and in a scheduling method, processing requests are efficiently scheduled by using the latest condition for the processing requests. In a base station, for each TDMA frame, a start/end time controller calculates a scheduling start time according to a predetermined scheduling end time and the types and the number of various processing requests buffered from a scheduling start time of a preceding frame to a scheduling start time of the pertinent frame. A scheduler accordingly allocates time slots to the TDMA frame.
