Patent CA-2632117-A1 (CA)
Title: Resource scheduling in a cellular system
Inventor: PETTERSSON JONAS
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for scheduling resources for uplink transmissions in a radio access network comprising access points which own pre-assigned resources. The invention also relates to an access point (5-7), a user terminal (1-4) and an access point controller 8. Characteristic features of the invention are that each AP places its resources to the disposition of other APs in the access network, and that an AP (7) transmits a blocking signal (BLOCK R3) if it does not allow a UT (3) , which is served by an AP (5) in another cell, to use its resources (R3). A UT that detects a blocking signal from an AP that owns the resources on which the UT is transmitting immediately stops transmission on said resources. The signal quality of a detected blocking signal may be used for setting the transmission power on the resources the UT has borrowed from the AP which transmits the blocking signal.  Based on statistics on the APs which transmit blocking signals long-term pre-allocation of resources among the APs is made.
