Abstract
A scheduling apparatus includes: a division control device configured to divide an entire communicable area into a plurality of areas; a combination generation device (-to-N) configured to generate candidate patterns of combinations of transmission points and user terminals for each area; a combination evaluation device (-to-N) configured to calculate evaluation values of candidate patterns for each area; an optimal combination holding device (-to-N) configured to hold an optimal combination pattern among candidate patterns for each area; a calculation result sharing device configured to output an evaluation value of an optimal combination pattern to the combination evaluation device (-to-N) for sharing with the areas as shared information; and an overall transmission weight matrix calculation device configured to calculate a transmission weight matrix for an entire communicable area based on a result obtained by combining optimal combination patterns of the areas.
