Patent ID: 8737208

Claim:
A wireless resource allocation apparatus comprising: a traffic determination unit that determines an amount of VoIP traffic for each terminal station; a scheduling operation state manager that determines whether semi-persistent scheduling or dynamic scheduling is used for transmitting each packet of the VoIP traffic, based on a result of the determination for the amount of the VoIP traffic; a semi-persistent scheduling using RB manager that manages, for each terminal station, a resource block allocated in the semi-persistent scheduling; and a dynamic scheduling using RB manager that manages each resource block which is not managed by the semi-persistent scheduling using RB manager and is allocated in the dynamic scheduling, wherein if the scheduling operation state manager has determined that the dynamic scheduling is used for transmitting each packet of the VoIP traffic to a terminal station, the semi-persistent scheduling using RB manager releases the resource block managed for the terminal station, and the dynamic scheduling using RB manager manages the released resource block as a resource block allocated in the dynamic scheduling.
