METHOD AND APPARATUS IN A MIMO BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Communication in a MIMO network is optimized by selecting a first set of users comprising at least one user, selecting a second set of users not comprised in the first set, adapting communication parameters for the first set of users according to a first principle suitable, e.g. SVD, adapting communication parameters for the sec-ond set of users according to a second principle, e.g. opportunistic MIMO, and transmitting to the first set of user terminals according to the first communication parameters and to the second set of user terminals according to the second commu-nication parameters. In this way, communication with one or a few users can be op-timized while network resources can be used in an efficient way also for other users.
