Diego, I dont Fully understand what you are proposing, hence some clarifying questions.
Currently, the OTF algorithm triggers when a node should schedule one cells TO its neighbor. Since all nodes run the OTF algorithm, the current node can also receive requests to schedule cells FROM any of its neighbors. Each cell is associated (this is not OTF specific): - one or more flags: TX, RX, SHARED - a neighbor, optional - a type: hard or soft What does the draft say now about the qualifiers, and what are you proposing to change those to?
