Abstract:
A method of scheduling air interface capacity between user services in a radio system, comprising:defining a nominal service bit rate as a bit rate before channel coding and service specific rate matching; defining a nominal capacity of the service as a bit rate after channel coding and service specific rate matching; defining an effective coding rate of the service by dividing the nominal service bit rate by the nominal capacity of the service; and scheduling air interface frame capacity between at least two different user services, including: computing the bit rate of a first service by multiplying the nominal capacity of the first service by the effective coding rate of the first service, and adding to this normal bit rate of the first service borrowed extra capacity of at least one other service, the bit rate obtained from the extra capacity computed by multiplying a predetermined amount of the nominal capacity of the other service by the effective coding rate of the first service.
