Abstract

See full text

A method for managing the transmission of packet objects distinguishes between packet objects having and not having quality of service (QoS) requirements for transmission over a logical channel. Packet objects for a logical channel having QoS requirements are placed in a sorted tree queue based on its scheduled departure time and on a weighting system related to the QoS requirements. Packet objects for a logical channel only requiring best effort transmission are place in a FIFO queue. Each logical channel is associated with either a sorted tree queue or a FIFO queue.
