Abstract

A method and apparatus for resource allocation and scheduling within a wireless communication system is provided herein. During resource allocation, a maximum total system transmit power (P), a maximum number of codes available (N), a maximum number of codes for each user in the system (N=(N1, . . . , Nd)), a maximum SINR value (S=(S1, . . . , Sd)) for each user in the system, and a SINR per watt of transmit power for each user in the system (e=(e1, . . . , ed)) is received by a scheduler. Scheduler then outputs an optimal number of codes per user (n) and power levels per user to (p).
