Abstract

The CM controller 101 outputs times at which signals are sent to various communication terminal apparatuses in a compressed mode based on information on the compressed mode sent from a host station such as a control station apparatus to the scheduler 102, coder 105 and modulator 106 . The scheduler 102 decides times (order) at which packet data is sent to the respective communication terminal apparatuses based on priority information such as channel conditions and times at which signals are sent in the compressed mode and outputs schedule information indicating the times for creating this packet data to the switch circuit 104. The switch circuit 104 outputs the packet data to be sent to the communication terminal apparatuses sequentially to the coder 105 according to the schedule created by the scheduler 102.

Claims (9)

1. A scheduling apparatus that creates schedules for packet data transmission at a base station apparatus that sends packet data using a shared channel, comprising:

an acquisition section that acquires, in a compressed mode of an accompanying dedicated physical channel, a transmission gap which is a time during which no signal of the accompanying dedicated physical channel is sent; and

a scheduling section that creates a schedule for sending packet data to a communication terminal apparatus in a time other than the transmission gap in the communication terminal apparatus with the highest priority and sending packet data to another communication terminal apparatus in the transmission gap, wherein

the acquisition section detects power of the transmission signals of the accompanying dedicated physical channel, the scheduling section creates a schedule for sending packet data in times in ascending order of power of the transmission signals preferentially.

2. A base station apparatus comprising:

an acquisition section that acquires a transmission gap which is a time during which a base station apparatus sends no signal to a corresponding terminal in a compressed mode of an accompanying dedicated physical channel;

a scheduling section that creates a schedule for sending packet data to a communication terminal apparatus in a time other than the transmission gap in the communication terminal apparatus with the highest priority and sending packet data to another communication terminal apparatus in the transmission gap; and

a transmission section that transmits the packet data using a shared channel through which signals directed to a communication terminal apparatus and assigned by schedule are sent on a per divided time basis according to the schedule, wherein:

the acquisition section detects power of transmission signals of the accompanying dedicated physical channel and the scheduling section creates the schedule for sending the packet data in times in ascending order of power of the transmission signals preferentially.
