Abstract

Systems and methods related to scheduling for a cluster of cells controlled by a base station of a cellular communications network are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a base station in a cellular communications network to provide scheduling for a cluster of cells controlled by the base station is provided. In some embodiments, the method of operation of the base station comprises identifying a first set of Radio Access Bearers (RABs) for cluster scheduling for a Transmit Time Interval (TTI) and a second set of RABs for individual cell scheduling for the TTI, where the first set of RABs and the second set of RABs are non-overlapping sets. The method further includes performing cluster scheduling for the first set of RABs for the TTI and performing individual cell scheduling for the second set of RABs for the TTI.
