REDUCING INTER-SS INTERFERENCE
First Claim
1. A method for wireless broadband scheduling, comprising:
- assigning apparent locations to subscriber stations located in an area covered by a wireless base station;
determining levels of potential interference between subscriber stations identified as apparently proximate to one another;
receiving bandwidth requests for one or more of the subscriber stations; and
scheduling communication between the wireless base station and the subscriber stations to minimize interference between the subscriber stations.

Abstract
Certain embodiments are described that enable the provision of enhanced service in wireless networks. Methods for wireless broadband scheduling are described that comprise determining levels of potential interference between subscriber stations located in an area covered by a wireless base station. Communication between the wireless base station and the subscriber stations can be scheduled to minimize interference between the subscriber stations. Scheduling may include ordering the subscriber stations based on the determined levels of potential interference for each station. Such scheduling may result in a list organized in ascending or descending order of potential interference or distance from the base station. Certain of the subscriber stations can be selected to communicate simultaneously based on the ordering. In certain of these embodiments, the ordering can be calculated to reduce mutual interference of the subscriber stations. Determining levels of potential interference can include measuring interference on each subscriber station.
