Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the determining an optimal time resource assignment of the uplink and downlink transmissions further comprises:
determining incremental sequences for the uplink and downlink transmissions for the terminal devices, which indicate incremental gains in power consumption respectively corresponding to the remaining basic scheduling time units; and
for a remaining basic scheduling time units as an incremental scheduling time unit,
determining a set of values of the incremental sequences of the uplink and downlink transmissions for the terminal devices;
determining a minimum value among the set of values of the incremental sequences; and
determining a transmission link associated with a terminal device corresponding to the minimum value as the transmission link of the terminal device to which the incremental scheduling time unit is to be allocated.
