There is provided a method for scheduling users in a multi user-multi input multi output (MU-MIMO) wireless communication system. The MU-MIMO wireless communication system comprises at least one based station and at least one user equipment, the base station is capable of accommodating plural user equipments by precoding based on a codebook, the method comprising: each of the plural user equipments conducting a channel estimation based on a pilot signal transmitted from the base station, to obtain a channel information; determining, based on the channel information, a codeword that results in the maximum signal-noise-ratio (SNR), and a channel quality indictor (CQI) value corresponding to the codeword; and feeding back the codeword and the CQI value to the base station, the base station setting up an active user set that includes at least one user allowed of downlink transmission based on the codewords and the CQI values fed back from the user equipments, so that a predetermined performance metric of the system is maximized.
