  Multi-user MIMO


The interaction between multi-user diversity and spatial diversity is assessed in [1], [2] and [3] by investigating the performance of STBC with scheduling algorithms. They consider a scenario in which K active data users, each equipped with multiple antenna elements, are served by a multi-antenna element base station (BS). Using different scheduling algorithms at the BS, time resources are allocated to the users in order to facilitate multiuser diversity which enhances the overall throughput of the system.
