Abstract

An apparatus for allocating radio resources shared among a plurality of network operators is provided. Each network operator has at least one scheduling entity, SE, and a respective resource allocation, RA, probability for being selected for radio resource allocation during a transmission time interval, TTI. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory contains instructions executable by the processor that are configured to cause the apparatus, within a TTI, to select a network operator of the plurality of network operators for resource allocation within the TTI based at least in part on the RA probability of the network operator, allocate radio resources to an SE of the selected network operator within the TTI and update the RA probability of selecting each of the plurality of network operators for a next selection of resource allocation.
