Abstract:
1. A method of coordinated scheduling in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving information regarding a set of one or more precoding matrices; determining a first utility value for a first set of wireless devices served by a first access point based on restriction of the set of one or more precoding matrices; determining a second utility value for a second set of wireless devices served by a second access point based on use of the set of one or more precoding matrices; comparing the first utility value to the second utility value; granting restriction of use of the set of one or more precoding matrices by the first access point based on the comparison; identifying a conflict with a third access point based on the granting restriction of use of the set of one or more precoding matrices by the first access point; and resolving the conflict by evaluating utility values for the first access point, the second access point, and the third access point.
