contents This paper considers opportunistic scheduler (OS) design using statistical channel state information~(CSI). We apply max-weight schedulers (MWSs) to maximize a utility function of users' average data rates. MWSs schedule the user with the highest weighted instantaneous data rate every time slot. Existing methods require hundreds of time slots to adjust the MWS's weights according to the instantaneous CSI before finding the optimal weights that maximize the utility function. In contrast, our MWS design requires few slots for estimating the statistical CSI. Specifically, we formulate a weight optimization problem using the mean and variance of users' signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) to construct constraints bounding users' feasible average rates. Here, the utility function is the formulated objective, and the MWS's weights are optimization variables. We develop an iterative solver for the problem and prove that it finds the optimal weights. We also design an online architecture where the solver adaptively generates optimal weights for networks with varying mean and variance of the SNRs. Simulations show that our methods effectively require $4\sim10$ times fewer slots to find the optimal weights and achieve $5\sim15\%$ better average rates than the existing methods.
