Abstract
Performing MU-MIMO in a wireless communication network based on determining that a load level of a sector deployed by an access node is below a load threshold, determining that one or more signal conditions within the sector meet a signal threshold, and disabling a MU-MIMO operating mode for wireless devices within the sector. The signal conditions can include current or historical signal conditions. An exemplary current signal condition includes an interference or other signal metric of the at least two wireless devices different by a threshold amount.
