Abstract:
1. A scheduling apparatus considering a quality of service (QoS), comprising a processor configured to execute: a receiving module to receive a QoS parameter including at least one of a priority level, a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) E-RAB guaranteed bit rate downlink, and an MBMS E-RAB maximum bit rate downlink with respect to logical channel identifiers (LCIDs) from a multi-cell/multicast coordinate entity (MCE), and to receive packets of the LCIDs from a radio link control (RLC) based on an MBMS scheduling period (MSP) unit; a first allocation unit to sequentially allocate, to subframes, packets of a LCID not checked for a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) allocation, among the LCIDs having the MBMS E-RAB guaranteed bit rate downlink; a first schedule module including a first check unit to check the GBR allocation with respect to the LCID allocated by the first allocation unit; and an MBMS scheduling information (MSI) generation module to generate MSI from the subframe allocated with the LCID and the packets of the LCID.
