Abstract
A system described herein may provide a scheduling technique for physical radio frequency (“RF”) resources of a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”) of a wireless network. Resources for a first group of User Equipment (“UEs”) may be allocated during or prior to a first time slot, and the UEs may be notified during the first time slot of the allocated resources. The allocated resources may be provided during a subsequent second time slot. A second group of UEs may be notified, during the first time slot, of physical RF resources allocated for downlink data for the second group of resources, and such downlink data may be provided to the second group of UEs during the first time slot via the allocated physical RF resources. The assignments of the UEs to the respective groups may change over time based on network load or other metrics.
