Claim 3:
4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
a plurality of other terminal devices are arranged in a descending order based on one of the following metrics: single user proportional fair metrics, a delay based metric or a spectral efficiency metric; and
the apparatus is further caused to:
allocate physical resource blocks to terminal devices having considered the selected beam as the best beam; and
when there are unutilized physical resource blocks left, allocate those the unutilized physical resource blocks to terminal devices not considering the selected beam as the best beam in a descending order according to a spectral efficiency of a current beam or proportional fair metrics or based on delays associated with each of the terminal devices not considering the selected beam as the best beam.
