Patent ID: 8325646

Claim:
A method for resource scheduling in a wireless system, applicable to a multi-hop network, comprising: acquiring by a Mobile Station (MS), bandwidth from an MS synchronous station, and transmitting data to the MS synchronous station with the bandwidth acquired from the MS synchronous station, wherein the MS as a subordinate node and the MS synchronous station as a superordinate node; acquiring the bandwidth by each of a plurality of nodes between the Mobile Station (MS) and a Mobile Multi-hop Relay Base Station (MMR-BS), wherein for each of the plurality of nodes, the acquired bandwidth is granted by a superordinate node to an adjacent subordinate node, and the acquired bandwidth takes place after granting the bandwidth to the adjacent subordinate node and before receiving the data from the subordinate node, and transmitting the data to the superordinate node of each of the plurality of nodes with the bandwidth granted by the superordinate node after receiving the data from the subordinate node, if the system needs to allocate the bandwidth for a traffic flow before the MS acquires the bandwidth from the MS synchronous station, generating, by the MMR-BS, a scheduling management message according to system resource and service requirements, and sending the scheduling management message generated by the MMR-BS to each of the plurality of nodes of a downlink hop by hop until the MS synchronous station receives the scheduling management message generated by the MMR-BS; wherein the scheduling management message generated by the MMR-BS is uplink scheduling information sent to the subordinate node of each of the plurality of nodes for indicating when to grant the subordinate node a given uplink bandwidth allocation and the allocated bandwidth.
