Abstract
The invention relates to a method of communicating in a mobile telecommunication network (100; 200), the mobile telecommunication network comprising a plurality of cells (102; 104; 106), wherein resource blocks are used for transmitting data in the mobile telecommunication network, and wherein the method comprises:—dividing (S2) a resource into at least a first plurality of resource blocks and a second plurality of resource blocks, wherein the resource blocks of the first plurality do not overlap with the resource bocks of the second plurality;—assigning (S3) the first plurality of resource blocks to a first group of cells and assigning the second plurality of resource blocks to a second group of cells;—scheduling (S4) first data transmissions in the first group of cells on the first plurality of resource blocks;—scheduling (S5) second data transmissions in the second group of cells on the second plurality of resource blocks;—scheduling (S6) third data transmissions in the first group of cells on the second plurality of resource blocks, when all resource blocks of the first plurality are already used for data transmissions; and—scheduling (S7) fourth data transmissions in the secon…
