Abstract:
1. A radio base station comprising: a transmission wait queue for temporarily storing packet data that are to be transmitted to mobile stations that are performing communication within a same cell; mobile station counting means for counting a number of mobile stations that are performing communication within said same cell; a first scheduler algorithm setting means in which a first scheduler algorithm has been set; a second scheduler algorithm setting means in which a second scheduler algorithm has been set; mobile station number threshold value setting means in which a threshold value for the number of mobile stations has been set for determining switching between said two scheduler algorithms; a scheduler algorithm selection means for performing a comparison between said threshold value and the number of mobile stations counted by said mobile station counting means, and, based on a result of the comparison, selecting a scheduler algorithm from among said first scheduler algorithm and said second scheduler algorithm; and a scheduler for using the selected scheduler algorithm to perform scheduling of transmission to said mobile stations of said stored packet data.
