Abstract
A method for scheduling packet data transmissions in a wireless communication system wherein a per-user Priority Function (PF) is calculated based on the channel condition and throughput for each user. In one embodiment, the system supports retransmission of data packets and sub-packets, wherein the retransmission information is used to schedule data transmissions. In another embodiment, at each time interval the system updates the priority factor for the user having the highest priority factor in the previous time interval. The priority factors of the other users remain unchanged.
