Research on Multiuser Scheduling Algorithm Based on the Frobenius-Norm of Channel Matrix
In MU-MIMO system when a base station sometimes has not enough resources to satisfy the service application from each user, we should arrange to communicate selectively for a certain number of users according to some appropriate method, i.e. multiuser scheduling. Given necessary channel state information this paper investigated the relationship between the norm of channel matrix and channel quality and studied multiuser scheduling algorithm typically based on the Frobenius-norm of channel matrix which was simulated respectively for equal power distribution and water-filling power distribution in MU-MIMO system model. The simulation result showed that at the same transmitted signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) such scheduling algorithm could be able to lower the bit error rate (BER) effectively and improve the receive capability in comparison to random scheduling.
