SCHEDULING METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A centralized virtual scheduler for a communications system that comprises multiple cells, each cell in the multiple cells corresponding to one real scheduler, wherein the centralized virtual scheduler comprises:
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon; and
a processor, configured to execute the processor-executable instructions for;
determining transmit power of a first cell, wherein the first cell is a cell of the multiple cells in the communications system; and
sending the transmit power of the first cell to a real scheduler corresponding to the first cell, so as to instruct the real scheduler corresponding to the first cell to schedule user equipment in the first cell based on the transmit power.

Abstract
A scheduling method, apparatus, and system are provided. The system includes at least one real scheduler and a centralized virtual scheduler. The centralized virtual scheduler is configured to determine transmit power of a first cell and send the transmit power determined by the determining unit to a real scheduler corresponding to the first cell, so as to instruct the real scheduler corresponding to the first cell to schedule UE in the first cell by using the transmit power determined by the centralized virtual scheduler. Therefore, by using a layered scheduling architecture according to the present application, an upper-layer centralized virtual scheduler instructs, by performing comprehensive coordination on transmit power of multiple cells, a lower-layer real scheduler to schedule UE by using the transmit power coordinated by the centralized virtual scheduler. This can reduce inter-cell interference and improve overall network performance.
