Intelligent uplink SCDMA scheduling incorporating polarization and/or spatial information to determine SCDMA code set assignment
First Claim
1. A method for uplink SCDMA scheduling within a telecommunications system capable of separating users, said method comprising:
- a) determining a characteristic of a first user;
b) determining a related characteristic of a second user;
c) comparing said characteristic to said related characteristic to verify orthogonality therebetween;
d) upon determination of orthogonality, assigning said first user and said second user differing SCDMA code sets;
e) upon determination of non-orthogonality, assigning said first user and said second user an identical SCDMA code set.

Abstract
A method for synchronous code division multiple access (SCDMA) scheduling including intelligent uplink SCDMA scheduling that incorporates polarization and/or spatial information to determine SCDMA code set assignment. The method includes scheduling algorithms to reduce observed interference and thus allow for a potentially significant increase in uplink capacity. This allows more terminals to be accommodated within a single site (i.e., higher sustainable user density) and/or a reduction in the number of base stations that must be deployed in order to cover a given area. This present invention is applicable to any high-speed wireless evolution SCDMA-based data system that would require highly efficient and optimized scheduling algorithms.
