Abstract

In SDMA mobile radio systems where only base stations, but no mobiles are equipped with antenna arrays, co-channel interference on the downlink has to be kept down by beamforming. The performance of the beamformer is determined by the directions of arrival (DOAs) of the users operating in the same frequency/time/code slot. Thus the full capacity of an SDMA cell can only be made use of by an effective channel allocation scheme. In this paper, a real time concept for channel allocation is presented. Furthermore, several criteria to quickly evaluate the spatial separability of subsets of users, were defined and then compared to each other by means of simulations.
