System and method for providing a fast and optimized uplink and downlink scheduling algorithm for use in FDD communication systems with half-duplex stations

摘要

A system and method for scheduling uplink and downlink burst data transmissions for half-duplex terminals in a communication system. After the first half duplex terminal capacity allocation is scheduled for a plurality of half duplex terminals, all available second half duplex terminals are placed in the same relative order as that of the half duplex terminal first capacity allocation. An iterative process is used in order to determine a final second frame layout. Once a set of potential solutions are determined, one solution is selected, and a final second frame structure is determined.
