Abstract

Average allocation of data rate to each user is inefficient since the resource a base station can allocate is limited. Thus, user selection and user scheduling need to be applied into multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink system. In this paper, we mainly focus on the methods of user selection. First, we establish a downlink system model including transmission model and channel model. Then, two user-rate based user selection algorithms via the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) are proposed, where the SINR is generated by MRC beamforming. Finally, simulation results are provided to compare the performance of two proposed algorithms and their fairness towards selected users. In the simulation results, location-based selection algorithm and random selection algorithm are jointly compared. The second proposed algorithm possesses the highest total sum-rate and is the optimal algorithms among the four algorithms.
