Abstract
A controller for allocating a radio resource block to a user device in a cell of a cellular network, includes a device for identifying a plurality of edge user devices within range of a first base station, a device for identifying, from the plurality of edge user devices, a first edge user device with which the first base station intends to communicate and a second edge user device presently communicating with a second base station in a neighboring cell, and a device for allocating a communication channel to the first edge user device by assigning a resource block for communications between the first edge user device and first base station. The resource block is one that will provide the highest transmission rate for the first edge user device, while differing from any resource blocks already allocated for communication between the second edge user device and the second base station.
