1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a local scheduler in a first radio access network, access network information at a global scheduler;
accessing information regarding a second radio access networkallocating, at the global scheduler, resources for secondary allocation by the local scheduler;
applying a hash function to map the allocated resources for secondary allocation to a set of hash values; and
sending, from the global scheduler, the set of hash values to the local scheduler.

Abstract
A method for scheduling resources in a network where the scheduling activity is split across two nodes in the network is disclosed, comprising: receiving, from a local scheduler in a first radio access network, access network information at a global scheduler; accessing information regarding a second radio access network allocating, at the global scheduler, resources for secondary allocation by the local scheduler; applying a hash function to map the allocated resources for secondary allocation to a set of hash values; and sending, from the global scheduler, the set of hash values to the local scheduler.

17. A system for allocating resources within a network, comprising:
a coordinating gateway coupled to a base station and providing connectivity for the base station as a gateway to an operator core network, the base station providing access to a user equipment (UE), the coordinating gateway further comprising; a scheduling module for allocating resources to the base station; a hash function module for applying a hash function to map the allocated resources for secondary allocation by the base station to a set of hash values; and a coordination module to receive resource allocation requests from a plurality of base stations and to coordinate the received allocation requests. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
