| 20090232087 | User Equipment Multiplexing In Downlink Multiuser, Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access - This invention is a method of downlink, multiuser, multiple input, multiple output communication between a single base station and plural user equipment. Resource buffers are distributed into sub-bands. Each user equipment is assigned to a sub-band with at least one sub-band assigned plural user equipment. The base station transmits user equipment according to assigned sub-bands. A single user equipment may be assigned one sub-band while plural user equipment are assigned to another sub-band. In one embodiment the base station has N transmit antennas. N user equipment is assigned to a first sub-band and less than N user equipment is assigned to a second sub-band. In another embodiment a first second user equipment is assigned a first sub-band and the first and a third user equipment are assigned to a second sub-band. | 09-17-2009 |
