Abstract:
Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a method and apparatus for scheduling transmissions for an antenna array. One embodiment of the method includes scheduling a subset of a plurality of packets for concurrent transmission over an air interface to a corresponding subset of a plurality of wireless-enabled terminals. The subset is selected based on information indicating locations of the subset of the plurality of wireless-enabled terminals. This embodiment of the method also includes concurrently transmitting the subset of the plurality of packets using a plurality of antennas.
