Abstract
In one embodiment, a target scheduling grant for a user is generated based on the uplink resource consumed by a plurality of users, and a scheduling grant for a user is generated based on the target scheduling grant and the uplink resource consumed by the user. More specifically, in one embodiment, a scheduling grant is generated for the user based on the target scheduling grant, the uplink resource consumed by the user, and a reference scheduling grant.
Claims20
A method of scheduling uplink resource, comprising:
- generating a target scheduling grant for a user based on the uplink resource consumed by a plurality of users;
- generating a scheduling grant for a user based on the target scheduling grant and the uplink resource consumed by the user.
A method of scheduling uplink resource, comprising:
- generating at least one uplink resource allocation metric based on uplink resource consumed by users over a time interval of a first length;
- and
- generating an uplink resource grant for at least one user based on the resource allocation metric such that the resource grant is generated within a time interval of a second length after an uplink resource consumption by the user, the second length being less than the first length.
A method of scheduling uplink resource, comprising:
- de-coupling a timing for collection of metrics regarding resource consumption from a timing for generating scheduling grants.
