Coordinated scheduling in low interference resource blocks

A control entity configured to coordinate a wireless data exchange between communication entities and base transceiver stations in at least one cellular network, the control entity comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• estimate a need of transmission resources needed for the data exchange between the communication entities and the base transceiver stations controlled by the control entity;
• wherein the estimating the need of transmission resources comprises estimating:
• determine a number of communication entities located in an area covered by the base transceiver stations which are controlled by the central control entity;
• and
• determine an expected data traffic between the number of communication entities and the base transceiver stations;
• determine first resource blocks from possible resource blocks, to which the data exchange between the communication entities and the base transceiver stations should be limited, the possible resource blocks indicating the resource blocks that are available for the data exchange between the communication entities and the base transceiver stations;
• determine a maximum interference level that should not be exceeded in the first resource blocks, the maximum interference level taking into account the signal exchange from one of the communication entities with one of the base transceiver stations other than a serving base transceiver station serving the one communication entity;
• a transmitter configured to inform the base transceiver stations about the first resource blocks and the maximum interference level that should not be exceeded in the first resource blocks.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program product for coordinating a wireless data exchange between communication entities and base transceiver stations in at least one cellular network, the computer program product comprising software instructions which, when run on processing circuitry of a control entity, causes the control entity to:

• estimate a need of transmission resources needed for the data exchange between the communication entities and the base transceiver stations controlled by the control entity;
• determine first resource blocks from possible resource blocks, to which the data exchange between the communication entities and the base transceiver stations should be limited, the possible resource blocks indicating the resource blocks that are available for the data exchange between the communication entities and the base transceiver stations;
• determine a maximum interference level that should not be exceeded in the first resource blocks, the maximum interference level taking into account the signal exchange from one of the communication entities with one of the base transceiver stations other than a serving base transceiver station serving the one communication entity;
• and
• inform the base transceiver stations about the first resource blocks and the maximum interference level that should not be exceeded in the first resource blocks;
• wherein the estimating the need of transmission resources comprises estimating:
• a number of communication entities located in an area covered by the base transceiver stations which are controlled by the central control entity;
• and
• an expected data traffic between the number of communication entities and the base transceiver stations.
