Abstract
A method for scheduling channel usage for an over-the-air ('wireless') network downlink is described. Information associated with incoming traffic and outgoing traffic to a node as associated with user equipment is obtained. The user equipment is capable of establishing a communication link with the node. The information obtained is placed in respective queues, which are each associated with the user equipment. A count level of the queues is obtained. An interval rate for the incoming traffic is determined. A receive rate for the user equipment is obtained. An incoming average rate for the incoming traffic is determined. An outgoing average rate for the outgoing traffic is determined. A proportion value is generated responsive to the incoming average rate, the outgoing average rate, the receive rate, and the interval rate.
