Abstract
A method scheduling data packets and control information in a telecommunication network for transmission in a group of OFDM symbols available in a transmission time interval. A set of the data packets to be scheduled is first selected by a scheduler, which then searches control solutions for scheduling control information associated to the set of data packets in a predetermined number of OFDM symbols of the OFDM symbol group. The scheduler searches data solutions for scheduling the selected data packets in other OFDM symbols available. The scheduler repeats searches of data and control solutions considering different sets of data packets and different numbers of OFDM symbols for scheduling control information. Finally, the scheduler schedules data packets and control information according to a scheduling solution, wherein control information is scheduled according to a control solution and data packets are scheduled according to a data solution associated to the control solution.
