Abstract

The present invention relates to a scheduling apparatus of a base station supporting Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) method. In particular, the present invention discloses scheduling a data unit transmitted to a mobile station from a base station providing ARQ method for correcting an error in wireless data communication and generating a high rate frame. According to the present invention, there is provided a transmission controlling apparatus comprising a receiver to receive mobile station status information from a mobile station connected with a base station, a schedule managing unit to determine transmission priority of a plurality of data units to be transmitted to the mobile station based on the received mobile station status information, and a transmitter to transmit the data units to the mobile station based on the determined transmission priority.

Claims (8)

1. An apparatus for controlling transmission, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive mobile station status information from a mobile station connected with a base station;

a schedule managing unit configured to determine transmission priority of a plurality of data units to be transmitted to the mobile station based on the received mobile station status information; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the data units to the mobile station based on the determined transmission priority,

wherein the receiver receives a first Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) message from the mobile station, the schedule managing unit identifies a first data unit corresponding to the first NACK message and redetermines transmission priority of the identified first data unit, and the transmitter retransmits the identified first data unit to the mobile station based on the redetermined transmission priority.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives a second NACK message from the mobile station, and the schedule managing unit identifies a second data unit corresponding to the second NACK message and determines not to retransmit the identified second data unit.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter changes a modulation scheme or a coding scheme with respect to one of the data units based on the received mobile station status information.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mobile station status information includes Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) with respect to a radio link between the mobile station and the base station.
