1. A method, comprising:
receiving data transmissions by at least one distributed unit of at least one cell of a wireless communication network, from a centralized unit of the at least one cell, wherein the data transmissions are encoded in a tentative fashion by the centralized unit, and wherein the encoding is performed or controlled without obtaining of a scheduling decision of the at least one distributed unit prior to the encoding;
buffering the encoded data transmissions;
scheduling the data transmissions to be transferred to at least one mobile device, wherein the data transmissions are scheduled based at least partially on a Transmission Time Interval-by-Transmission Time Interval basis, wherein the scheduling is performed or controlled upon reception of the data transmissions; and
transmitting the data transmissions based on the scheduling upon completion of the scheduling for the at least one cell.
