Systems and methods for configuring a scheduler

A system for configuring a scheduler using aggregated data, the system comprising:

• an access node with a processor configured to:
• communicate backhaul data between the access node and a relay wireless device, wherein the relay wireless device serves as backhaul for a plurality of end-user wireless devices and a set of the plurality of the end-user wireless devices comprise a quality of service metric that meets a quality of service criteria;
• schedule wireless resources for the relay wireless device using pre-allocated scheduling such that wireless resources are pre-allocated for the relay wireless device;
• aggregate data for the set of end-user wireless devices that is received at the access node between scheduled transmissions for the pre-allocated scheduling;
• and
• transmit, according to the pre-allocated scheduling, the aggregated data from the access node to the relay wireless device at a next transmission for the pre-allocated scheduling.
