PARALLEL SCHEDULING IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

Mechanisms for scheduling uplink transmissions for a plurality of user equipment devices, UEs, that are serviced by a network node having a wireless coverage area comprising a plurality of sectors is disclosed. A plurality of schedulers is initiated in parallel, each scheduler corresponding to a different sector of the plurality of sectors.
