Abstract

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes generating feedback information at a first remote access point (AP), wherein the feedback information is associated with one or more user equipment served by the first remote AP; determining constraints for the first remote AP at a central controller based on the feedback information received from the first remote AP and feedback information received from one or more other remote APs that neighbor the first remote AP, wherein the constraints are determined for a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs); and scheduling resource blocks (RBs) for the one or more user equipment served by the first remote AP for one or more of the plurality of TTIs based, at least in part, on constraints received from the central controller.
