          Abstract: This paper describes how resource allocation and scheduling of users 
          in a multiuser communication system, such as UMTS, can be used to enhance 
          system throughput. More specifically, it suggests a framework based 
          on probability theory for allocating base stations and time slots in 
          the downlink, in order to maximize the average throughput. 
           The decisions are based on knowledge of future channel capacities 
            and the average amount of incoming data. It is demonstrated in simulations 
            that the proposed scheduler achieves significant performance improvements 
            over simple versions of traditional scheduling algorithms.
