Abstract |
Although the maximum sum-rate capacity of multiple-input multiple output(MIMO) broadcast channels(BCs) can be achieved by dirty-paper coding(DPC), the results were obtained without fairness considerations in uncorrelated MIMO channels. In this paper, we propose new multiuser scheduling algorithms, which find a best user set for approaching the maximum sum-rate capacity while maintaining fairness among users. We analyze the performance of the proposed algorithms using zero-forcing dirty paper coding(ZF-DPC) in the correlated MIMO BCs for throughput and delay fairness, respectively. Numerical results demonstrate that a large time window can reduce the average throughput difference between users, but it increases head-of-line(HOL) delay jitters in the case of delay fairness. |
