Patent ID: 8670361

Claim:
An apparatus for scheduling in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a packet scheduler for allocating multi-bursts comprising a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst and a normal burst to a mobile station; an operation part for determining a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level and a transmission power level for the multi-bursts by using burst information and a parameter of the multi-bursts allocated to the mobile station; and a generation part for generating MAP information comprising the burst information, the determined MCS level, and the determined transmission power level, wherein the operation part calculates a total transmission power for a first scheduled burst having a highest priority order among the multi-bursts by using a MCS level and a transmission power level for the first scheduled burst, and updates the total transmission power of the mobile station by subtracting the calculated total transmission power from a maximum transmission power of the mobile station.
