Abstract:
1. A wireless communication device comprising: a scheduler unit, to receive protocol data units from a network, to sub-divide the protocol data units into sub-protocol data units, and to determine a schedule protocol for transmission of the sub-protocol data units; and a plurality of transceiver elements, at least a subset of which to receive the sub-protocol data units, and wirelessly transmit the sub-protocol data units to a subscriber unit, wherein the sub-protocol data units are transmitted between the transceiver elements and the subscriber unit in blocks including one or more sub-protocol data units; wherein the scheduler unit determines how many sub-protocol data units comprise a block and how many blocks are transmitted from each transceiver element to the subscriber unit during a frame unit of time based, at least in part, upon transmission link quality information.
