+Scheduler Framework with plug-in support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+5G NR SCH module is encapsulated within 5G NR MAC of ODU-High. Any communication to/from SCH will happen only through MAC.
+The scheduler framework in ODU-High provides support to plug-in multiple scheduling algorithms easily.

+- The code for scheduler has been divided into 2 parts i.e. the common APIs and scheduler-specific APIs. 
+- Any code (structure/API) which is specific to a scheduling algorithm must be within scheduler-specific files such as sch_rr.c and sch_rr.h for round-roubin scheduler.
+- Function pointers are used to identify and call APIs belonging to the scheduling algorithm in use at any given point in time. 
+- All supported scheduling algorithm are listed in SchType enum in sch.h file.
+- All function pointers are declared in SchAllApis structure in sch.h 
+- For each scheduling algorithm, function pointers must be initialised to scheduler-specific APIs during scheduler initialisation. 
+
+Call Flow
++++++++++
+
+- In any call flow, a common API calls the scheduler-specific API using function pointer and its output is returned back to the common API, which will be further processed and communicated to MAC.
