Abstract
A system controller (102) is for scheduling outbound signal transmissions in a radio communication system (100). A scheduled memory (414) is for storing a set of messages. A best cell means (430) is for determining a best power level and a best cell transmitter associated with each message in the set of messages. The best power level reliably communicates each message at a minimum required power level. A scheduling means (416) is coupled to the best cell means (430) and the scheduled memory (414) and is for generating an initial schedule of transmission times of the set of messages and improving the initial schedule. A cell site controller (402) is for controlling transmissions of a set of outbound signals from the plurality of cell transmitters according to the transmission times stored in the scheduled memory (414).
