METHOD FOR SCHEDULING MOBILE STATION UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for a distributed digital wireless communication system. There exists a need for a digital wireless communication system that reduces the scheduling and ARQ delays of the prior art communication systems. A method is provided for scheduling mobile station uplink transmissions for a selected mobile station of a plurality of mobile stations by a base station. The method includes receiving scheduling information that includes at least one of a queue status and a power status of the at least one mobile station, and selecting a mobile station and determining an uplink channel scheduling assignment for the selected mobile station using at least one of the scheduling information and a base station interference metric and an uplink quality corresponding to the selected mobile station. The assignment may includes a sub-frame assignment, a maximum power margin and targets and a maximum transport format related information.
