Patent ID: 8842629

Claim:
A scheduling method based on Quality of Service, QoS, comprising: scheduling, by the AP, radio resource transmission based upon the QoS level of the downlink service data packet of the MAC layer, wherein determining the QoS level of the downlink service data packet of the MAC layer according to the QoS attribute information of the IP layer in the received downlink service data packet specifically comprises: determining the QoS level of the downlink service data packet of the MAC layer according to the QoS attribute information in an IP header of the received downlink service data packet and a preset mapping relationship between QoS attribute information and QoS levels, and configuring the determined QoS level in the downlink service data packet of the MAC layer, wherein in the mapping relationship between the QoS attribute information and the QoS levels, the QoS attribute information is represented by different combinations of values of D, T and R bits in a type of service field in the IP header, wherein the D (bit 3 ), T (bit 4 ), and R (bit 5 ) are in the type of service field in the IP header; and the QoS attribute information corresponding to the QoS levels in a descending order is QoS attribute information of control signaling in a same gateway, QoS attribute information of control signaling between gateways, QoS attribute information of a 1-level streaming service, QoS attribute information of a video service, QoS attribute information of a 2-level streaming service, QoS attribute information of a high-level background service, QoS attribute information of a best-effort transmission service and QoS attribute information of a low-level background service respectively.
