A user selection apparatus (100) for being operative in a mobile communication system and for selecting a sub-group of users from a plurality of users for transmission, a user being adapted for communicating through a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO = Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) radio channel. The user selection apparatus (100) comprises a pre-selector (110) for de-selecting a user having a transmission capacity measure which is higher than a transmission capacity measure of another user by a predetermined amount to obtain a pre-selection group not including the de-selected user, such that the pre-selection group comprises two users having two transmission capacity measures which are equal or different from each other by less than the pre-determined amount and a processor (115) for determining the sub-group of users for transmission based on the MIMO radio channels.

A sub channel allocation apparatus (100) for allocating sub channels of a MIMO radio channel to a plurality of users. The sub channel allocation apparatus (100) comprises a radio channel evaluator (110) for evaluating the MIMO radio channels for the plurality of users to determine a selection metric for a user, the selection metric being based on elements of a MIMO radio channel matrix of the user. The sub channel allocation apparatus (100) further comprises a pre-selector (120) for selecting a subgroup of the plurality of users based on the selection metrics, the selected users supporting a higher performance on a spatial sub channel than the non-selected users. The sub channel allocation apparatus (100) further comprises a sub channel allocator (130) responsive to the pre-selector (120) for allocating a sub channel to a selected user.
摘要:
The present invention presents a mechanism to incorporate quality of service constraints imposed by higher layers into the allocation of resources performed preferably in a multi-user-multi-carrier MIMO system. Quality of service constraints are given as fractions of rates that each user should obtain out of the resulting sum rate. Allocation of spatial and frequency dimensions is carried out according to the cooperative zero-forcing with successive encoding and successive allocation methods (CZF-SESAM). The inventive approach basically constitutes a means of forming allocation in each iteration of the CZF-SESAM taking into account prescribed quality of service constraints. The procedure consists of three basic steps. After all potential beam-forming vectors have been computed on each subcarrier at a certain iteration, first, preferably for each user, only the beam-forming vector is on each subcarrier selected that yields the highest channel gain. In the second step, considering the subchannel selected in the first step, capacity values are computed for every user and based on these capacity values and the quality of service constraints, the spectral share of each user is computed. Finally, the particular assignation of space-frequency dimensions is carried out by departing from a sum rate optimum allocation and modifying the initial allocation according to a minimum energy loss principle, in order to comply the spectral shares computed in a second step.

An apparatus for calculating receive parameters for an MIMO system comprising a plurality of individual transmission sections, a transmission section having a transmit circuit being adjustable by a transmit parameter, and a plurality of individual users, a user having a receive circuit being adjustable by a receive parameter, comprises a calculator (10) for calculating a receive parameter (11) for a first selected data stream for a first user of the plurality of users using a channel information (12) for a transmission channel between the user and a first individual transmit section, to which the user is associated, and for calculating a receive parameter (13) for a second selected data stream for a second user of the plurality of users associated with a second different individual transmission section using a channel information (14) between the first user and the second transmission section, to which the second user is associated with, or using (15) the calculated receive parameter for the first user, so that an interference caused by transmissions from the transmission sections to the first user and the second user are reduced or eliminated. The allocation of users and the calculation of receive parameters for the users can be performed successively for a group of transmission sections, where the final transmit parameters are continuously updated and are finally determined when the allocation of the users in the group of sectors is completed.
