METHODS AND NODES FOR MULTIPLE USER MIMO SCHEDULING

摘要

The present invention relates to an RBS of a wireless network and to a method in the RBS for MU-MIMO scheduling. The method comprises estimating (410) a throughput gain of a paired scheduling relative to an unpaired scheduling for a UE pair comprising a first UE and a second UE, and for each of the first and the second UEs individually. The method comprises when the UEs are initially unpaired, to schedule (420) the first UE in pair with the second UE when the estimated throughput gain for the UE pair is above a first threshold, and when the estimated throughput gain is positive for each of the first and second UEs. Furthermore, the method comprises when the first UE is initially paired with the second UE, to schedule (430) the first UE de-paired from the second UE when the estimated throughput gain for the UE pair is lower than a second threshold, or when the estimated throughput gain is negative for either the first or the second UE.
