APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SCHEDULING A MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses for scheduling a mobile terminal (11) associated to a serving cell (12; 22) of a cellular communication system, comprising classifying (51) the mobile terminal into a cell-center or cell-border mobile terminal (11-1; 11-2) based on a quality of a wireless communication channel between the mobile terminal and the serving cell (12; 22) and based on a quality of a wireless communication channel between the mobile terminal and a neighbor cell (18; 28), and scheduling (53) a classified cell-border mobile terminal (11-2) using radio resources (21) which are at least partially suspended from transmission by the neighbor cell (18; 28), and to schedule a classified cell-center mobile terminal (11-1) using radio resources (23) which are not suspended from transmission by the neighbor cell (18; 28).
