1. A scheduling system allocating a radio resource held by a plurality of transmission points for radio communications between the transmission points and user equipment in a wireless network system including the transmission points, the scheduling system comprising:
a transfer source processor configured to compress M-bit information obtained from the user equipment to N bits and obtain N-bit information, wherein M is an integer of two or more, N<M, and N is an integer of one or more, wherein the user equipment is separate from the scheduling system;
a transfer destination processor configured to expand the N-bit information transmitted from the transfer source processor or read from the transfer source processor to L bits and obtain L-bit expanded information and store the L-bit expanded information, wherein L>N and L is an integer of two or more; and
a scheduling calculator configured to identify an optimal combination pattern between the transmission points and the user equipment according to the L-bit expanded information stored in the transfer destination processor.
