Abstract
A method for selecting data packets includes including identifying available data packets for transmission, determining a number of time-slots available for the transmission, identifying data packet types that fit into the available time-slots and meet a minimum transfer length requirement, and determining whether any of the identified data packet types are capable of transmitting the entire required data length. If so, a data packet type capable of transmitting most data in the shortest time is chosen for the transmission from the data packet types capable of transmitting the entire required data length. If not, a data packet type capable of transmitting most data in the shortest time is chosen for the transmission from the identified data packet types.
