1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a local scheduler in a first radio access network, the first radio access network being a centralized network using an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) protocol, access network information at a global scheduler;
accessing information regarding a second radio access network;
allocating, at the global scheduler, radio resource blocks for secondary allocation by the local scheduler;
applying a hash function to map the allocated resources for secondary allocation to a set of hash values; and
sending, from the global scheduler, the set of hash values to the local scheduler.
