Patent ID: 7697938

Claim:
A method, comprising: associating, using a scheduling module, each of a plurality of mobile units with one of a plurality of scheduling states based on at least one radio resource parameter and at least one fuzzy rule by associating the mobile units with at least one value of at least one variable based on said at least one fuzzy rule and said at least one radio resource parameter, determining at least one membership function associated with said at least one value of said at least one variable based on said at least one fuzzy rule and said at least one radio resource parameter, and determining at least one membership function associated with at least one candidate scheduling sate based on said at least one membership function associated with said at least one value of said at least one variable, and wherein east of the plurality of scheduling states indicates a different priority for scheduling; associating, using the scheduling module, each mobile unit with one of a plurality of allocation sates based on the scheduling states associated with the mobile units, each of the plurality of allocation states indicating a likelihood that a portion of at least one radio resource will be allocated to each mobile unit; and allocating, using the scheduling module, said at least one radio resource to at least one mobile unit based on the allocation states.
