Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for allocating resources to real-time traffic communication in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) based system, the apparatus comprising a processor and an associated memory, wherein the processor is configured to: assign one or more Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) packets to a single bundled packet; select a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of a set of MCSs, the first MCS being the one MCS of the set of MCSs capable of mapping the bundled packet to a smallest possible amount of physical OFDMA resources while addressing one or more negative impacts of interference on a link associated with the real-time traffic communication; map the bundled packet to the smallest possible amount of physical OFDMA resources based on the first MCS selected; and transmit the bundled packet using the first MCS selected over the smallest possible amount of physical OFDMA resources mapped; wherein, the first MCS is selected for mapping the bundled packet to a smallest possible amount of physical OFDMA resources such that the selected first MCS also maximizes the probability of success of communication of the bundled packet.
