Abstract

In one embodiment, the method includes determining feasibility for a potential transmission based on a current schedule of active transmissions. The current schedule of active transmissions includes active transmissions over multiple carriers and at multiple transmission rates. The potential transmission is at a start time on a radio frequency carrier at a data transmission rate by a user terminal. A transmission duration is determined if the potential transmission is determined to be feasible. A message is sent to the user terminal. if the potential transmission is determined to be feasible. The message may direct the user terminal to receive the potential transmission on the radio frequency carrier at the data transmission rate at the start time. The current schedule is updated according to the feasibility determination.
