Abstract
A method for LTE or WiMAX scheduling includes collecting, by a basestation BS, channel feedback from multiple mobiles with downlink traffic. The channel feedback enables the BS to determine an achievable rate or block error probability if transmitting to a mobile with a given modulation and coding scheme MCS and multiple-input multiple-output MIMO mode. The method includes determining, by the BS, which of the mobiles is scheduled on each resource block RB and what the MCS and MIMO mode is selected for each scheduled mobile, and allocating bits on the set of the RBs assigned to each scheduled mobile.
