MULTI-USER, MULTIPLE ACCESS, SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES

摘要

In a multi-access communication system having a plurality of multiplexed layers and a plurality of mobile devices, mobile devices are paired over time-frequency and space resources. Transmission power is allocated such that a total power is shared among the plurality of multiplexed layers. The plurality of multiplexed layers and rate of each of the plurality of mobile devices are adjusted according to a power and a channel quality of the mobile device. Power and rate are adjusted until a scheduling criterion such as a weighted sum-rate is maximized.
