  • Method and system for scheduling packets for transmission from a wireless communication platform
    Patent number: 6888806
    Abstract: A system (38) schedules candidate packets (46) for transmission from a communication platform (22), the communication platform (22) being allocated a plurality of transmission resources (24). The system (38) includes a processing element (40) for receiving the packets (46) and establishing a transmission priority (77) for each of the packets (46) according to a desired quality of service. The packets (46) are stored in a candidate packet buffer (42) as candidate packets (48) in accordance with the established transmission priority (77). The system (38) further includes an interference resolver (44) that executes an interference resolution process (84) to concurrently consider transmission resource availability, spatial separation, and temporal separation variables when scheduling the candidate packets (48) for transmission from the communication platform (22).
