Abstract:
1. A scheduling system, comprising: a time slot that includes a plurality of positions, each of the positions providing an opportunity for a cell associated with a line to be transmitted; a cell read sequence management table, which has a number of locations corresponding to the number of positions in the time slot, to schedule transmission of cells associated with lines at positions of the time slot; a schedule management table to store information identifying locations within the cell read sequence management table for cells associated with new lines based on transmission rates of the new lines, the schedule management table identifying a different location within the cell read sequence management table for at least some of the transmission rates; and a schedule computation section to schedule a cell associated with a new line for transmission by identifying a location in the cell read sequence management table for the cell associated with the new line based on the information in the schedule management table.
