We consider a scheduling problem pertinent to a base station (BS) that serves heterogeneous users (UEs). We focus on a downlink model, with users that are either interested in large throughput, low latency (the time difference between the…

In this paper, we propose a novel reception/transmission scheme for half-duplex base stations (BSs). In particular, we propose a half-duplex BS that employes in-band uplink-receptions from user 1 and downlink-transmissions to user 2, which…
