Scheduling algorithm for wireless communication networks

Abstract

A method scheduling resources allocation within a wireless communications network including at least one network cell including a central unit providing coverage over the network cell and managing at least one transmission frame for putting the central unit into communication with at least one user equipment. The method includes: retrieving input parameters including, for each user equipment, a channel quality parameter indicating a measured/estimated channel quality based on actual network cell conditions; applying a de-contextualization function to each channel quality parameter for obtaining a corresponding atomic channel quality parameter indicating channel quality de-contextualized from the actual network cell conditions; performing a scheduling algorithm providing a binary allocation matrix indicating each scheduled physical resource block, transmission frame and user equipment; and applying a contextualization function to the allocation matrix obtaining transport block size data usable by the scheduled transmission frame for transport blocks transmissions from or towards each scheduled user equipment.
