Method of allocating power for the simultaneous downlink conveyance of information between multiple antennas and multiple destinations

摘要

A method of scheduling a plurality of subscriber equipment based on sets of channel conditions and calculated power allocations for downlink channels of an air interface of a wireless communication system to satisfy a desired system requirement. A set of subscriber requesting access to the communication system or being provided access to the communication are selected by a scheduler based on their channel conditions and power allocation calculation. The scheduler then schedules the selected set of subscribers to achieve the desired system requirement whereby the subscribers simultaneously receive information from a multiple of antennas which are typically located at a base station.
