Abstract
Techniques to schedule downlink data transmission to a number of terminals in a wireless communication system. In one method one or more sets of terminals are formed for possible data transmission with each set including a unique combination of one or more terminals and corresponding to a hypothesis to be evaluated. One or more sub-hypotheses may further be formed for each hypothesis with each sub-hypothesis corresponding to specific assignments of a number of transmit antennas to the one or more terminals in the hypothesis. The performance of each sub-hypothesis is then evaluated and one of the evaluated sub-hypotheses is selected based on their performance. The terminal(s) in the selected sub-hypothesis are then scheduled for data transmission and data is thereafter coded modulated and transmitted to each scheduled terminal from one or more transmit antennas assigned to the terminal.

Claim
1. A method for scheduling data transmission in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
identifying one or more sets of terminals, each set including one or more terminals and corresponding to a hypothesis to be evaluated based on one or more criteria;
assigning a plurality of transmit antennas to the one or more terminals in each set;
evaluating performance of each hypothesis based on channel state information (CSI) associated with each terminal, the CSI being indicative of channel characteristics between the respective terminal and the corresponding transmit antennas; and
