Abstract
Method to perform joint scheduling in the downlink or in the uplink of a centralized OFDM radio access network for a plurality of users considering time, frequency and space domains, scheduler device thereof and computer program products. The method to be applied in the downlink or in the uplink of a centralized radio access network based on OFDM, whereby a set of remote radio heads of a set of remote units are connected to a central unit, that performs all (or part of) the radio-related processing tasks, wherein the scheduling exploit CoMP, NOMA and RF conditions and resource blanking techniques.
