Scheduling of data transmission from internet of things user equipment to a base station of a cellular network

A base station for scheduling data transmissions in a network, comprising:

• a memory storage comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory storage, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
• broadcast synchronization information to a plurality of user equipment in the network, wherein the synchronization information includes a total number of the plurality of user equipment, a length of a spreading code, a time domain periodicity of available resources, and a maximum number of the plurality of user equipment that data transmissions can be simultaneously received from;
• and
• receive the data transmissions from each of the plurality of user equipment according to a schedule, the schedule including the spreading code and a time slot number associated with each of the plurality of user equipment's unique ID, wherein
• the schedule having been calculated at each of the plurality of user equipment prior to handshake between the plurality of user equipment and the base station, before an uplink transmission and by applying a mathematical operation to the synchronization information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions for scheduling data transmissions in a network, that when the computer instructions are executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• broadcasting synchronization information, by a base station, to a plurality of user equipment in the network, wherein the synchronization information includes a total number of the plurality of user equipment, a length of a spreading code, a time domain periodicity of available resources, and a maximum number of the plurality of user equipment that data transmissions can be simultaneously received from;
• and
• receiving the data transmissions from each of the plurality of user equipment according to a schedule, the schedule including the spreading code and a time slot number associated with each of the plurality of user equipment's unique ID, wherein
• the schedule having been calculated at each of the plurality of user equipment prior to handshake between the plurality of user equipment and the base station, before an uplink transmission and by applying a mathematical operation to the synchronization information.
