| 20110134812 | System and Method for Scheduling Users on a Wireless Network - In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a base station configured to operate with user devices includes scheduling transmission for the user devices. Scheduling transmission includes determining a first fading metric for at least one user device from the at least one user device to the base station, determining at a second fading metric for the at least one user device from the at least one user device to at least one other base station, and determining a priority metric for the at least one user device based on the first and second fading metrics. The priority metric is configured to assign a higher priority to a user device with a first fading metric indicating an up-fade and the second fading metric indicating a down-fade. The method further includes transmitting a transmission schedule to the at least one user device based the priority metric. | 06-09-2011 |
