Spatial frequency scheduling for long term evolution single carrier frequency division multiple access-based uplink multiple-input multiple-output systems.

Mathematical expressions are derived for the received signal to interference plus noise ratio of uplink single carrier (SC) frequency division multiple access (FDMA) multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with spatial frequency domain packet scheduling. The scheduler is able to exploit the available multi-user diversity in time, frequency and spatial domains. Our analysis model is confined to 3GPP uplink SC-FDMA transmission in which we specifically investigate multi-user spatial divsion multiplexing MIMO schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
