Abstract:
Multi-level beam scheduling in a wireless communications circuit, particularly for a wireless communications system (WCS), is disclosed. The WCS includes a central unit(s) and a wireless communications circuit(s) configured to reduce beamforming overhead and improve radio frequency (RF) coverage in a wireless communications cell(s) based on a multi-level beam scheduling scheme. In a non-limiting example, the multi-level beam scheduling scheme includes a first level (L1) scheduler, a second level (L2) scheduler, and a third level (L3) scheduler configured to perform cross-cell beam scheduling, in-cell beam scheduling, and in-beam user equipment (UE) scheduling, respectively. By employing the multi-level beam scheduling scheme in the WCS, it may be possible to reduce processing overhead and improve resource usage, data throughput, and system adaptability of the wireless communications circuit(s), thus helping to optimize capacity and throughput in the wireless communications cell(s).
