Abstract
A wireless telecommunications network having superior quality of service is provided. A system and method for assigning future slots of a transmission frame to a data packet in the transmission frame for transmission over a wireless telecommunication network system includes applying an advanced reservation algorithm, reserving a first slot for a first data packet of an internet protocol (IP) flow in a future transmission frame based on the algorithm, reserving a second slot for a second data packet of the IP flow in a transmission frame subsequent in time to the future transmission frame based on the algorithm, wherein the second data packet is placed in the second slot in an isochronous manner to the placement of the first data packet in the first slot. There may be a periodic variation between the placement of the first data packet in the first slot and the placement of second data packet in the second slot or no periodic variation between placements of slots. The advanced reservation algorithm makes a determination whether the IP flow is jitter-sensitive.
