Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The effective performance metric and achieving method of a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication system are provided. A number of feedback bits of channel information may be determined based on an effective spectral efficiency (ESE). The ESE may correspond to a metric of the throughput performance with respect to a total radio resource including an uplink radio resource and a downlink radio resource. User-scheduling may be based on the feedback information that is based on the ESE, and thus, the throughput performance of the communication system may be enhanced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A communication method of a terminal for a downlink reception in a wireless communication environment including terminals and a base station including multiple transmit-antennas, the method comprising: estimating a downlink channel between the base station and a terminal and obtaining an uplink channel state between the base station and the terminal; calculating an effective spectral efficiency (ESE) based on a length of feedback time expended when t…
