A method for managing allocation of radio resources to users in a cell of a communication network during an allocation episode is disclosed. The method comprises generating a representation of a scheduling state of the cell for the allocation episode and generating a radio resource allocation decision for the allocation episode by performing a series of steps sequentially for each radio resource or for each user in the representation. The steps comprise selecting a radio resource or a user and using a trained neural network to update a partial radio resource allocation decision for the allocation episode on the basis of a current version of the scheduling state representation and updating the scheduling state representation to include the updated partial radio resource allocation decision. The method further comprises initiating allocation of cell radio resources to users during the allocation episode in accordance with the generated radio resource allocation decision.
