Abstract
Description
本発明の第1の実施形態における通信システムについて、図1を用いて説明する。
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態における通信システム20について、図3を用いて説明する。なお、本実施形態においては、基地局が、移動局のスケジューリングを行う割当装置として機能する場合について述べる。
ところで、移動局のプロトコル層の一つであるRLC(Radio Link Control)層のモードが、ACK(ACKnowledgement)の送信を必要とするRLC-AM(Acknowledge Mode)であって、下りリンクでデータが送信される場合、移動局からのACK送信が必要となる。ここで、上りのスケジューリングが遅延することで移動局によるACKの送信が遅延すると、下りリンクのスループットが低下する恐れがある。
次に、本発明の第4の実施形態について述べる。第3の実施形態においては、移動局のRLC層のモード情報に基づいて対象移動局を選択することで、下りリンクのスループットの低下を防止することとした。しかしながら、RLC層よりも上位のプロトコル層である、トランスポート層やアプリケーション層のモードが、ACKが必要なモードである場合も、上りのスケジューリングが遅延することで、下りリンクのスループットが低下する恐れがある。
(付記28)前記割当装置は、基地局を制御する制御装置である、付記15乃至26のいずれか一つに記載の割当装置。
