Patent attributes
A method for scheduling pairs in a plurality of pairs of devices for pair communication in a telecommunication network, each pair of devices including a transmitter and a receiver. The method includes: allocating a different time interval to each of the transmitters for emitting training signals, the training signals allowing determining channel estimates; obtaining channel information from at least one receiver having received training signals emitted by at least one of the transmitters, the channel information being determined by the receiver by analysis of the received training signal, the channel information including a channel estimate of a channel between the receiver and the transmitter that emitted the received training signal; and scheduling for pair communication, in the same time interval, the pairs for which a quality indicator verifies a predefined criterion, the quality indicator being determined using channel estimates obtained from receivers of the pairs in the set.
