Flexible dynamic Coordinated Scheduling in Virtual-RAN deployments
Using Coordinated Scheduling (CS), eNodeBs in a
cellular network dynamically agree on which Resource Blocks
(not) to use, so as to reduce the interference, especially for celledge
users. This paper describes a software framework that allows
dynamic CS to occur among a relatively large number of
nodes, as part of a more general framework of network management
devised within the Flex5Gware project. The benefits of dynamic
CS, in terms of spectrum efficiency and resource saving,
are illustrated by means of simulation and with live measurements
on a prototype implementation using virtualized eNodeBs
