Supporting scheduling plan indications
A base station central unit (CU) may receive a measurement report from one or more user equipments (UEs). The CU may identify a scheduling plan indication (SPI) for one or more scheduling nodes in a network, based at least in part on the received measurement reports. The SPI may specify a pattern of scheduling states, over a period of time, to be used by the one or more scheduling nodes to schedule communication resources for one or more UEs in the network. The scheduling states may (e.g., based on an interference profile determined from the received measurement reports) specify UEs or other communication resources for transmission scheduling decisions made by the scheduling nodes, or may specify beam patterns for beamforming procedures performed by the scheduling nodes. In some cases, the scheduling nodes may identify tentative SPIs, which the CU may pass amongst other scheduling nodes for distributed scheduling coordination schemes.
