Abstract
Various embodiments include a system that comprises processing circuitry and radio circuitry. The processing circuitry reserves a set of resource blocks for user devices located in a cell edge of a cell provide by an access node. The processing circuitry determines a user device is located in the cell edge. The processing circuitry schedules the user device in the set of resource blocks reserved for the user devices located in the cell edge. The radio circuitry wirelessly exchanges user data with the user device based on the schedule.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- reserving a set of resource blocks for user devices located in a cell edge of a cell provided by an access node;
- determining a user device is located in the cell edge;
- scheduling the user device using the set of resource blocks reserved for the user devices located in the cell edge;
- wirelessly exchanging user data with the user device based on the scheduling.
A system comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- reserve a set of resource blocks for user devices located in a cell edge of a cell provided by an access node;
- determine a user device is located in the cell edge;
- and
- schedule the user device in the set of resource blocks reserved for the user devices located in the cell edge;
- and
- radio circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly exchange user data with the user device based on the schedule.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon, wherein the program instruction, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- reserving a set of resource blocks for user devices located in a cell edge of a cell provided by an access node;
- determining a user device is located in the cell edge;
- scheduling the user device in the set of resource blocks reserved for the user devices located in the cell edge;
- and
- directing a radio to wirelessly exchange user data with the user device based on the scheduling.
