Abstract
Methods and apparatus are presented to select optimal transmission formats for transmissions to a single user or simultaneous transmissions to multiple users. Priority information and channel state information associated with each user are used to determine the optimal transmit formats. In particular, said formation is used to maximize a given revenue function that enhances system throughput while maintaining fairness among users. Once transmit formats are determined, any unallocated system resources, such as unused Walsh codes or transmission power, can be evenly or proportionately distributed among the users.
