US Patent 11184906 Scheduling resources in massive MU-MIMO wireless networks

Systems, methods, and processing nodes are configured to perform scheduling in a wireless network utilizing a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) operating mode, by determining that a throughput indicator of a sector meets a threshold, and adjusting a time window during which a first one or more wireless devices are removed from a MU-MIMO group and a second one or more wireless devices are added to the MU-MIMO group. The first one or more wireless devices comprise any wireless device that has a throughput below a threshold, and the second one or more wireless devices comprise any wireless device that has not been in the MU-MIMO group for a predefined time period.
