Minimal capacity loss Round-Robin scheduling algorithm for downlink beamforming multiuser MIMO systems

In this paper, we propose a minimal capacity loss round-robin scheduling (MCLRRS) algorithm for downlink zeroforcing beamforming multiuser MIMO systems. Based on conventional round-robin scheduling, we select user with less spatially correlated channels. It guarantees full fairness of users and at the same time we can get multiuser diversity. The analysis and simulation results have both shown that MCLRRS algorithm distinctly outperforms conventional Round-Robin scheduling algorithm.
