FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: stream of packet data received by a wireless receiver is completely scheduled over an initial period of time in order to gather statistics associated with scheduled packet size (Ss) and inter-packet intervals (Ts). Analysis of the distribution function of pairs {S, T} indicates whether the typical packet size (S0) and size variance (D0) are associated with the distribution function. Inter-packet intervals associated with the typical size and variance form the transport format. Semi-permanent scheduling is used for the packet stream when the typical transport format can be extracted or becomes clear from the gathered statistics. Extracted transport formats can be used to optimise scheduling efficiency during handover.
EFFECT: methods for efficient scheduling which are adaptive to considerable fluctuations in traffic.
