A method, medium, and wireless system are provided for scheduling access terminals to prevent starvation of other access terminals connected to a communication network. The wireless system includes access terminals and base stations that are configured with a first wireless scheduler and a parallel wireless scheduler that select access terminals to communicate during specified time slots. The access terminals measure channel conditions associated with communications to the base station and transmit requests that specify a desired communication rate to the base station. The wireless schedulers on each base station receive the requests from each access terminal and select an access terminal to communicate during a subsequent time slot that may be based on, for example, the channel conditions and a combination of the probability estimates associated with the communication rate and a faction of unallocated slots or a second fraction—corresponding to the access terminal—generated by either the first wireless scheduler or the parallel wireless scheduler.
