Abstract
A system and method of scheduling communication in a wireless communication network are provided. An access node can receive an uplink scheduling request. The access node can communicate with a wireless device over a first and second frequency band. The access node can determine an interference indicator associated with the wireless device. The access node can determine a first scheduling scheme for the first frequency band and a second scheduling scheme for the second frequency band based on the uplink request and the interference indicator. The first scheduling scheme can comprise a first uplink portion and the second scheduling scheme can comprise a second uplink portion. The first uplink portion does not overlap the second uplink portion. The wireless device can be instructed to communicate uplink data to the access node during the first uplink portion and uplink data to the access node during the section uplink portion.
