Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products relating to coordinated scheduling with adaptive muting are provided. One method comprises transmitting, by a network element, calculated impact information for a cell of the network element when taking an action related to a cell of the network element and/or taking an action related to a cell of a second network element. The method may also comprise transmitting a request for taking the action related to the cell of the second network element under certain circumstances.

Coordinated scheduling with adaptive muting

In a communication system () where a wireless relay node (RN) () relays data packets between a Node B () and a user equipment (UE) (), the RN receives () a data packet from the Node B via a first wireless link (), conveys () the received data packet to the UE via a second wireless link (), determines () whether the UE is likely to handoff, and in response to determining that the UE is likely to handoff, delays conveying () an acknowledgment of the data packet to the Node B until an acknowledgment has been received from the UE. In another embodiment, the RN may use a status report () to inform the Node B of data packets that have not been transmitted to the UE or that have been transmitted to the UE but for which an acknowledgement has not been received from the UE.

Systems and techniques for scheduling of use of resources by wireless devices and allocation of resources among devices. Information is received relating to channel efficiency experienced by a user equipment and also to the channel efficiency experienced by other user equipments. The information may include channel gain. Scheduling and resource allocation are performed so as to provide service to each device while minimizing interference penalties imposed by devices on one another. Scheduling and resource allocation may be evaluated and conducted through a number of mechanisms, such as ranking users according to transmit power, ranking user equipments according to target signal to noise ratios, and evaluation of relative advantages to users with the evaluation being performed resource block by resource block. The various metrics take into account both advantages to a particular user equipment under consideration and detrimental effects on other user equipment.

Methods and apparatus for radio resource allocation

A method includes determining semi-persistent scheduling acknowledge/negative acknowledge (SPS AN) resources; configuring as a first metric for each SPS AN resource a number of user equipments (UEs) for which the SPS AN resource has been configured but is not activated; configuring as a second SPS AN resource a count of a number of sub-frames in which the SPS AN resource has been activated for a UE; configuring as a third metric for each SPS AN resource a number of UEs for which the resource is configured but some other SPS AN resource is allocated; forming a fourth metric using the first, second and third metrics; selecting N SPS AN resources from the SPS AN resources based at least on the fourth metric; and selecting one of the N SPS AN resources based at least on the fourth metric when the UE is activated for SPS operation.
