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.
