Abstract
Terminals in a wireless communication system are scheduled according to a metric based on average power data received from a plurality of terminals at a plurality of base stations. An acceptable metric lies below a threshold value determined by the particular user's quality of service requirement. Groups of terminals are scheduled for simultaneous transmission in respective intervals of time or frequency. An equation for the metric {tilde over (K)}is defined.
