         Abstract: Multiuser diversity is exploited by tracking rapidly time-varying 
          radio channels and allocating more transmission resources to users with 
          good instantaneous channel conditions. 
           We explain how to simultaneously exploit multiuser diversity and 
            variable and highly uncertain source bit rates to maximize system 
            capacity. A framework for scheduling under uncertainty is derived 
            based on the maximum entropy principle. 
            By using the channel and the source rates as independent sources 
            of diversity, the sum capacity is substantially improved. The performance 
            of maximum entropy scheduling is compared to another recent proposal 
            for exploiting multiuser diversity.
