Inter-Cell Coordinated Scheduling Method, Apparatus and Device

A device comprising:

• a communications interface;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• control the communications interface to receive a plurality of coordinated multiple points (CoMP) pre-scheduling requests, each of at least one first CoMP pre-scheduling requests of the plurality of CoMP pre-scheduling request corresponding to at least one edge cell, a second CoMP pre-scheduling requests of the plurality of CoMP pre-scheduling requests corresponding to a first edge cell, the at least one edge cell belongs to a CoMP cluster corresponding to the device, the first edge cell is adjacent to the at least one edge cell, and the first edge cell does not belong to the CoMP cluster corresponding to the device;
• and
• when determining, based on the plurality of CoMP pre-scheduling requests, that the at least one edge cell comprises a second edge cell that meets a preset condition with the first edge cell, control the communications interface to send an inter-cluster pre-scheduling request to a second network control device, the inter-cluster pre-scheduling request instruct the second network control devices to assign a first coordination cell set, and the first coordination cell set comprises the first edge cell and the second edge cell.
