Abstract

A downlink Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) scheduling algorithm used in a cellular communications network is disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a downlink scheduler () implementing the disclosed algorithm for a generic cell () is provided. The cell downlink scheduler () is used in the cellular communications network () to enable downlink CoMP scheduling within a cell cluster () including the cell () and one or more other cells (). According to at least some embodiments, the distributed downlink CoMP scheduling for the cell cluster () effectively reduces inter-cell co-channel interference.
