A METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR IMPROVED SCHEDULING

摘要

The invention discloses a method (400) for a cellular system (100), with a first node (110) which schedules traffic to and from users (120) in a cell (130). The first node uses a first channel (230) in a first kind of data frame (200) to transmit scheduling information to users in a cell. The first kind of data frame (200) comprises a plurality of symbols (210), a number of which are used for the first channel, and according to the invention the first node assigns (405) scheduling information to the symbols (210) in the first channel. The number of symbols used for the first channel is variable (410) and calculated (415) before the scheduling information is assigned to the symbols in the first channel, and is dependent (420) on the number of symbols were needed for scheduling information during a period of time before said calculation is made.
