Patent ID: 7653078

Claim:
A packet transmission control apparatus which performs transmission control of packets to a plurality of mobile stations, comprising: an acquirer configured to acquire capability indexes B n corresponding to capabilities of the mobile stations #n, instantaneous transmission rates R n of the packets to the mobile stations #n and average transmission rates R n of the packets to the mobile stations #n; and a scheduler configured to perform scheduling of the packets in accordance with instantaneous transmission rates R n of the packets to the mobile stations #n , average transmission rates R n of the packets to the mobile stations #n, and capabilities of the mobile stations #n; and wherein the scheduler is configured to schedule to transmit the packets to a mobile station which maximizes a value C n of an evaluation function which is calculated according to an equation Cn = Bn · Rn α ⁢ Rn _ β ⁢ by using the capability indexes B n corresponding to capabilities of the mobile stations #n, the instantaneous transmission rates R n of the packets to the mobile stations #n, the average transmission rates R n of the packets to the mobile stations #n and predetermined parameters α and β.
