See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for scheduling the transmission of cells and frames in a communications network. The transmission of cells and frames are scheduled utilizing a selected scheduling algorithm. The cell/frame scheduling algorithm includes the step of identifying a frame or cell transmission type. Responsive to the identified frame or cell transmission type, a frame multiplier value is identified. A target transmission time is calculated for the frame or cell transmission type utilizing the identified frame multiplier value. A method and apparatus optionally are provided for scheduling the transmission of packet pairs.
