New Radio (NR)-aware LTE scheduling is provided. An access station for a radio access network includes a first scheduling function. The first scheduling function identifies a User Equipment (UE) device that has a first active wireless connection and a second active wireless connection to the radio access network. The first scheduling function determines that expanded coverage is need for an uplink transmission for the second active wireless connection and obtains uplink scheduling information for the second active wireless connection. The first scheduling function adjusts uplink scheduling for the first active wireless connection such that power sharing is prioritized for uplink time intervals of the second active wireless connection over overlapping uplink time intervals of the first active wireless connection.

Systems and methods for new-radio-aware LTE scheduling

A system and method for load rebalancing are provided. A node B selects a subset of carriers from a plurality of carriers of the node B according to effective usages for the plurality of carriers, determines a heavily loaded carrier and a lightly loaded carrier from the subset of carriers according to effective usages of the subset of carriers, select a mobile device assigned to the heavily loaded carrier as a candidate for handoff, and performs a handoff of the selected mobile device from the heavily loaded carrier to the lightly loaded carrier.
