US 2020/0403662 A1 · MULTI-USER MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT (MU-MIMO) USER EQUIPMENT (UE) GROUPING WITH GEOGRAPHIC CORRELATION FACTORS

Abstract

A wireless communication network configured to share a wireless resource block that comprises a same time interval and a same radio subcarrier. The wireless communication network comprises network circuitry and transceiver circuitry. The network circuitry determines UE locations and determines UE correlation factors between the UEs based on the UE locations. The network circuitry associates the UE correlation factors with Three-Dimensional (3D) geographic containers based on the first UE locations and generates container correlation factors for the Three-Dimensional (3D) geographic containers responsive to the associations. The network circuitry selects UEs for the shared wireless resource block. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly transfers user data to the selected UEs over the shared wireless resource block that comprises the same time interval and the same radio subcarrier.

Dependent claims

A method of operating a wireless communication network to share a wireless resource block that comprises a same time interval and a same radio subcarrier, the method comprising:

for a first set of User Equipment (UEs), determining first UE locations, determining UE correlation factors between the first set of the UEs based on the first UE locations, associating the UE correlation factors with Three-Dimensional (3D) geographic containers based on the first UE locations, and generating container correlation factors for the Three-Dimensional (3D) geographic containers responsive to the associations;
for a second set of the UEs, determining second UE locations, identifying the 3D geographic containers for the second set of the UEs based on the second locations, determining the container correlation factors for the identified 3D geographic containers, selecting some of the second set of the UEs for the shared wireless resource block based on the container correlation factors for the identified 3D geographic containers;
and
wirelessly transferring user data to the selected ones of the second set of the UEs over the shared wireless resource block that comprises the same time interval and the same radio subcarrier.
