Abstract

See full text

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate enhanced resource scheduling for a wireless communication system. As described herein, packets associated with a common flow that arrive within a predetermined time period following a leading packet associated with the flow can be grouped into respective packet bursts. Subsequently, system bandwidth, transmit power, and/or other communication resources can be scheduled based on an analysis of the respective packet bursts. As provided herein, by analyzing respective packet bursts in lieu of individual packets, computational and resource overhead required for resource scheduling can be significantly reduced. In one example described herein, a resource schedule is determined by selecting one or more flows to be assigned bandwidth from among a plurality of flows based on an analysis of packet bursts respectively associated with the flows. Sufficient bandwidth can subsequently be scheduled for the selected flows for transmission of the respectively associated packet bursts.
