1. A method of scheduling tasks for a baseband processor in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: assigning a priority to a task associated with a user equipment based on at least one parameter affecting a duration of time available for processing the task, the at least one parameter including a number of reception points in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) access process associated with the user equipment, when the user equipment is in a cell served by the baseband processor, a higher number of reception points in the CoMP access process results in a lower priority being assigned to the task in the cell served by the baseband processor upon reception of CoMP information from all neighboring cells participating in the CoMP process, and when the user equipment is in a cell that is different from a cell served by the baseband processor, a higher number of reception points in the CoMP access process results in a higher priority being assigned to the task; and processing the task based on the priority assigned to the task.
