Methods for Group Management, Scheduling, and Rate Selection for MU-MIMO Using User Location and Other System Parameters

摘要

Disclosed herein, one embodiment of the disclosure is directed to a system, apparatus, and method for grouping client devices for simultaneous MU-MIMO transmissions. When client devices are being grouped for simultaneous MU-MIMO transmissions, a first wireless network device may obtain information corresponding to a plurality of client devices that are associated with the first wireless network device. This information may correspond to signals received from one or more of the client devices by each of the wireless network devices other than the first wireless network device. Then, a subset of the client devices may be selected for concurrent communications based, at least in part, on the information corresponding to the plurality of client devices for concurrent communication. Thereafter, the subset of client devices, referred to as the first group, may be concurrently communicated with.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable-medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
obtaining, by a first wireless network device, information corresponding to a plurality of client devices associated with the first wireless network device, the information corresponding to signals received from one or more of the plurality of client devices by each of a plurality of wireless network devices other than the first wireless network device; based at least on the information corresponding to the plurality of client devices, selecting a subset of the client devices as members of a first group for concurrent communication; and concurrently communicating with the client devices in the first group.
