Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: receive from an upper scheduler data for user terminals served by the apparatus, wherein a first set of terminals is connected to more than one cell and a second set of user terminals is not connected to more than one cell, wherein the data for user terminals includes first user terminal data and second user terminal data, and wherein a first user terminal of the first set of terminals is configured to receive the first user terminal data as synchronized transmissions from more than one cell and a second user terminal of the second set of user terminals is configured to receive the second user terminal data from a single cell; receive from the upper scheduler physical layer resources to be allocated for the first set of user terminals; and determine by the apparatus physical layer resources for the second set of user terminals and allocate the received and determined resources for the user terminals wherein the apparatus is configured to take care of time critical aspects of scheduling for the user terminals.
