Abstract
A method scheduling allocation of radio resources in a cellular network, including: selecting at least one first user equipment for performing a first type data exchange based on Coordinated Multi-Point technique and a second type data exchange not based on Coordinated Multi-Point technique, and selecting at least one second user equipment for performing only the second type data exchange; selecting at least one network node for performing the first type data exchange with the at least one first user equipment and the second type data exchange with at least one among the first and second user equipment; determining, for the at least one network node, a radio resource parameter indicative of a number of radio resources to be allocated for the first type data exchange and a number of radio resources to be allocated for the second type data exchange; allocating the radio resources based on the radio resource parameter.
