Claim:
1. A method of multiple access scheduling of a shared communications channel divided into multiple resource blocks, the method comprising: identifying high-interference resource blocks in the shared communications channel; receiving an allocation request of a user equipment (UE) to allocate resource blocks to the UE in a first portion of the shared communications channel for future transmission of data; determining an error rate that would result from assigning the allocation request of the UE to a first portion of the shared communications channel having one or more of the high-interference resource blocks; assigning the allocation request to the first portion of the shared communications channel having the one or more of the high-interference resource blocks when the determined error rate would be less than an error rate threshold; and assigning the allocation request to a second portion of the shared communications channel having fewer of the high-interference resource blocks relative to the first portion of the shared communications channel when the determined error rate would be greater than the error rate threshold.
