The invention concerns method for scheduling of user terminals (T) to subcarriers in a multi-cell or multi-sector network using FDM transmission with interference coordination and with the frequency band used for FDM transmission being subdivided into at least two frequency subsets (F1, F2 . . . FR), whereby the data throughput of user terminals (T) is measured or modeled by means of the signal to interference ratio measured by said user terminals (T) dependent on the frequency subset (F1, F2 . . . FR), subcarriers are allocated preferably to user terminals (T) with a high signal to interference ratio on said subcarriers, and subcarriers are allocated in clusters to the user terminals (T), whereby all clusters offer the same data throughput for the respective user terminal (T), a base station (BS), a user terminal (T) and a network therefor.
