WIRELESS SCHEDULING CONSIDERING OVERHEAD COST ESTIMATE

摘要

The present solution provides a method in a base station (110) for selecting one or more user equipments (120) to be scheduled for a transmission. After receiving (201) channel state information from the respective one or more user equipments (120), the base station (110) estimates (202) the throughput of the transmission of the respective one or more user equipments (120). The throughput is based on the received channel state information. The base station (110) further estimates (203) the consumption of throughput that is expected for transmitting scheduling information to each of the respective one or more user equipments (120). The base station then selects (204) the respective one or more user equipments (120) to be scheduled for transmission based on a criterion. The criterion is based on the estimated throughput and the estimated consumption of throughput that is expected for transmitting the scheduling information to the respective one or more user equipments (120).
