1. A communication system comprising:
remote units to exchange radio frequency (RF) signals with mobile devices, RF signals comprising information destined for, or originating from, a mobile device;
wherein the remote units perform at least some physical layer processing for an air interface used by the remote units to communicate with the mobile device;
wherein the remote units comprise radio frequency transceivers to communicate with the mobile devices;
two or more controllers comprising real-time schedulers for assigning airlink resources to the mobile device for the information; and
a coordination function coupled to the two or more controllers to coordinate assignments made by the real-time schedulers in the two or more controllers.
