Scheduling virtualization for mobile RAN cloud and separation of cell and user plane schedulers

The present disclosure relates to a (100, 200, 300) for processing signals of at least one remote radio head (104), the at least one remote radio head (104) serving a radio cell (105) of a cellular communication system, the baseband processing assembly (100, 200, 300) comprising a set of user packet schedulers (107A-M) and a cell packet scheduler (109), wherein the cell packet scheduler (109) is assigned to the radio cell (105), wherein the set of user packet schedulers (107A-M) are assigned to a group of users (101A-N) associated to the radio cell (105), wherein the cell packet scheduler (109) and a first user packet scheduler (1 07A-M) of the set of user packet schedulers (107A-M) are operable to mutually exchange data for providing resource assignment information and establishing a channel (102) with a first user (101A-N) of the group of users using the resource assignment information.
