Abstract
The invention provides a method and system for scheduling for links having changing parameters. The method and system for scheduling for links having changing parameters is responsive to variations in communication capacity of communication links, such as wireless communication links in a wireless communication system. A BSC communicates with a plurality of CPE, including dynamically varying communication parameters for each CPE and substantially simultaneously scheduling traffic for each such CPE in response to those varying communication parameters. The BSC can schedule communication with each individual CPE in response to both (1) requested communication bandwidth and (2) varying communication capacity of the communication link between the BSC and that individual CPE. In a preferred embodiment, the BSC communicates with each CPE during a TDD frame. Sequences of such frames can each have differing communication parameters and can each be separately processed by the scheduling technique.
