Summary:Disclosed is a method and apparatus for scheduling multiple carriers to service multiple users in a multi-carrier wireless data network. A data transmission in a multi-carrier wireless data system can be scheduled in frames comprising one or more time slots. For each frame, each of multiple carriers in each time slot of the frame are assigned to one of multiple users. Various objective functions can be used to assign the carriers to the users based on a weight for each user and a channel rate of each carrier for each user while preventing excessive carriers from being assigned to a user.
