Abstract
A wireless communication system () includes using multiple antennas () for simultaneous transmissions to multiple mobile stations (). A distributed multiple antenna scheduling (DMAS) technique includes selecting a plurality of mobile stations for at least receiving simultaneous transmissions on at least one selected subcarrier from within a carrier bandwidth having orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In a disclosed example, a plurality of mobile stations are selected for each subcarrier within the carrier bandwidth. A disclosed example includes grouping subcarriers together into subsets to reduce computation complexity for determining which mobile stations to select for the simultaneous transmission.
