Claim:
1. A method for scheduling radio resource allocation among active flows within a wireless communication network, the method comprising, at each working period of the scheduling method: for each active flow, checking presence of priority data to be transmitted within the current working period based on a comparison between data queued at a reference working period before the current working period and data transmitted between the reference working period and the current working period; classifying as a priority active flow each active flow having priority data to be transmitted within the current working period; classifying remaining active flows as non-priority active flows, the non-priority active flows having non-priority data that need not to be transmitted within the current working period; allocating radio resources among the priority active flows and transmitting the corresponding priority data over the respective allocated resources; and after completing priority data transmission, allocating the radio resources among the non-priority active flows and transmitting the corresponding non-priority data over the respective allocated radio resources until the end of the current working period.
