Methods and devices for cooperative scheduling in a wireless communications network

摘要

A method of multi-streaming data includes obtaining first information based on transmission conditions between a first base station and a first set of users associated with the first base station. The method may include obtaining second information based on transmission conditions between a second base station and a second set of users associated with the second base station. The method may also include calculating metrics for the first set of users based on the first and second information. The first set users may include a subset of users that are associated with the first and second base station. The method may further include selecting a user from among the first set of users based on the calculated metrics.

1. A method of multi-streaming data, comprising:
obtaining, at a scheduling device, first information based on transmission conditions between a first base station and a first set of users associated with the first base station; obtaining, at the scheduling device, second information based on transmission conditions between a second base station and a second set of users associated with the second base station; calculating, at the scheduling device, metrics for the first set of users based on the first and second information, the first set users including a subset of users that are associated with the first and second base station, the first and second information including parameters that i) indicate an impact of the transmission conditions between the first base station and the first set of users on scheduling at the second base station, and ii) indicate an impact of the transmission conditions between the second base station and the second set of users on scheduling at the first base station; selecting a user from among the first set of users based on the calculated metrics; and transmitting a first message such that the data is sent from the first base station to the selected user.
