ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for managing transmission airtime in a wireless network communication system transmitting at least one data flow in a plurality of data packets (210) in service intervals (215). The method comprises the steps of determining an accumulated time of data packet transmissions in the service interval (215) for each of the data flows, determining an estimated time of the next data packet transmission in the service interval (215) for each of the data flows, and allowing the transmission of the next data packet (330) when the combined accumulated time and the estimated time for a flow to which the data packet belongs is less than a predetermined value (320).
