Abstract:
A cellular wireless communication system comprising:a scheduler unit, to receive protocol data units from a network and sub-divide the protocol data units into sub-protocol data units; a plurality of synchronized base transceiver stations to receive the sub-protocol data units, and to wirelessly transmit the sub-protocol data units to a subscriber unit; wherein the scheduler unit determines a schedule protocol for timed transmission of the sub-protocol data units by the plurality of base transceiver stations to the subscriber unit, the transmission including at least one of spatial multiplexing and diversity transmission; and wherein the sub-protocol data units are transmitted between the base transceiver stations and the subscriber unit in data blocks, wherein a number of sub-protocol data units that are within a data block is dependent upon transmission link quality information of transmission links between the base transceiver stations and the subscriber unit, and wherein the scheduler unit determines how many data blocks are transmitted from each base transceiver station to the subscriber unit during a frame unit of time, based upon the transmission link quality information.
